If I am interpreting what bar is saying correctly its that now delta is using a regional carrier to put pressure on its own mainline pilots not just its other regionals. Across the pond, klm has a regional called citi hop I believe. They fly emb190s. Pilots with low time are hired right into this low paying airline. When they have the seniority, they move right up to klm with no interview. I think bar is doing something a lot of us don't do and trying to prevent something happening in the future, instead of trying to constantly clean up messes. Just be becuase Richard Anderson or northwest or delta used to destroy regionals build them up and sell them does not automatically mean they will do the same thing with pinnacle
