Delta? Who knows what that amounts to. Seemingly to me, pretty soon every current qualified regional FO will be on American's books, and a less number at United's affiliates.

I guess the military will have to recruit more aviators because the stench Delta is leaving among their regional "associates" will be difficult to wash off. If they don't move to save them now, I think 9E will be the first to say good bye to FOs.
