If enough of you guys cared provisions could have been put into your contract that would have helped the entire industry, not just Delta pilots. And don't give me that crap that moving the flying back to mainline is good for everyone. While it may be in the long run, this is a terrible time to put people on the street. Why not wait until Delta is actually hiring before doing this to Comair?
I don't work for DAL, but one of the provisions I would've like to have seen would've been ensuring that these new 76 seat aircraft go to ALPA represented carriers. This was a huge fumble on their parts. The overall job creating at mainline was a plot to get the pilots to vote yes. And while I believe that jobs should be at mainline, the damage done to hard working regional pilots who want to have a future at a mainline carrier were hosed in the process. Unless you want to go to slumdog carrier.
