I believe DAL is in a very good position in the long term but the bottom half of the list have been stagnating for well over 10 years.

I feel your pain. Life long FO here. It's hard to watch the company grow out west using RJs in our very limited gate space while there is almost never a seat available on anything I fly. We had a massive head start on the merger parade and much of the success was due to pilot cooperation. Seems like we would have been able to capitalize and capture some market share. Unfortunately our company is addicted to capacity restraint. Whine mode off.
