I wasn't throwing stones. I was pointing out how ironic it is for a self-proclaimed Delta pilot (you) saying new entrants like VX are one less job at a career legacy airline, whereas the evidence shows that the #1 killer of mainline jobs has been the outsourcing of RJs that Delta has done from the mid 90s with Comair and since. 53 VX A320s haven't parked a single Delta jet nor laid off a Delta pilot. However, several *hundred* RJs have single handedly replaced mainline jets and jobs on the DC9, 727, and the 737-2.
But keep telling yourself otherwise. It's VX that is really taking one good mainline job away, not those shiney new CRJ-900s flying DFW to LGA or ORD to LGA. Right.
And the several hundreds of VX/JB/etc LCC growth airframes are going to be filled with magical pax from where exactly in the multiverse? Oh and bonus: one or more will flail around desperately trying to go long haul international. I suppose that's all "organic" pax growth as well?Originally Posted by ShyGuy
