You're still not making any sense. I'm well aware of the 76 seat RJ issue and how the smaller DC-9's used to be that size. BTW, DL has many 110 seat mainline pilot positions already. But just because there are 76 seat RJ's out there, doesn't mean DL will soon (or ever) outsource 200-350 seater pilot jobs. And please don't try to obfuscate the issue by talking about JV alliances. While we do need to work on ours, they are essential and no global airline going forward will ever fly every single seat to every single destination, that's just asinine. Keep it to the point you're trying to illustrate (for whatever reason I don't know): 200-350 seat mainline pilot positions, still at mainline, outsourced to euro clone MPL fantasy pilots regardless of seniority. Its not going to happen.

Do you think that every time you take off you're going to break the sound barrier because, at the time, the trend vector of your acceleration is so steep it will probably happen in a few minutes. Or every time you start climbing you're going to fly to the moon because if that rate continued on forever, well…

So I'll say it:

Never.
