(no criminal record, DUI's ect.). They would then have to fly 3 years as a RJ Captain. At that point they would then transfer to the mainline with the seniority number acquired 3 years earlier. JC turned it down as a insult since he would go behind existing FE's at Delta. The rest is as they say history!
If this is true then every Capt now on the property would be over at Delta and not worrying about feeding their families.
A FE at DL is lightyears ahead of a CMR Capt anyway. One is "on the list" and one is not.
I enjoyed my flying at CMr and the people. It was not a place to end up though. Sad for those that thought so.
