If I had my druthers, DCI would say Skywest, Expressjet, etc. as a codeshare like we do with Alaska Airlines, because that's really what it is. DCI has contracts with other majors as well; they're all independent companies.
If I truly had my way, we wouldn't have any DCI and you'd be a Delta Seniority List pilot.
