I was LMAO when I watched that.

At first I thought it was another RAA publicity stunt trying to convince the flying public that we have a pilot shortage and they need the right to scrape even lower in the experience pool to find pilots.

But I don't think so. I think this was one of those rare situations where the media actually found and told a story without being paid to. Or maybe they asked "Delta" for money not to run it and they refused! ;-)

I was laughing mostly because they continually referred the airline as "Delta" and the pilots as "Delta pilots" with no mention of regional airlines, code shares, regional jets or anything other than "Delta." Good! Let the mainlines start taking the heat for the mess we created. My perspective on this industry is so vastly different than it was when I flew regionals some twenty years ago.
