reducing the amount of regional flying.

Sure Delta is parking 50 seaters, but they are adding BIGGER jets to replace them. What happens next when the larger RJ's aren't profitable anymore? Will you allow the regionals to fly DC-9's, or 717's. No insult to you, but that TA was more or less a joke. Why, on this planet, would DAL want you to fly a 767 for whatever you make, when in the future a pilot half your age will fly it for less than half of what you're making? It is the future of our business. Maybe farther away than we might think, but it is coming.
