Long term.. Someone will. It's just like saying "how is regional X gonna find pilots with that contract" yet they get tons of applications.
It's the wow I never saw that coming factor.

Apparently Delta is very concerned about us having to hire in the fall, because they don't think that anyone will apply.
1.) They all but forced these pay rates on us, but now their concerned?
2.) staffing will not be a concern, because all they will just start giving up 200s if it does.
3.) I bet we get tons of apps dispite having awful pay rates and being on the bottom of a 2500 pilot list with no upgrades.

Just a thought, but I'm sure someone will disagree.
