There is no provision for them under any existing contracts though, other than bottom of the list to fly what they can hold. Their lack of mobility doesn't change their compensation either, so this wouldn't be much of a win for management at all. The only reason for them to attempt it would be because they sat on their rear ends and did nothing and suddenly couldn't find 1500 hour pilots for mainlines. That is highly unlikely anyway.

At DL the ER has been going to new hires but after this summer's build up that fleet is going to be shrinking. Even now there is no way for management to guarantee a future MPL pilot would be able to hold it, and even if they do get it the category is mostly domestic anyway.

Maybe we'll give up MD88 Cruise Pilot MPL positions out of seniority in exchange for a raise though lol! Or…OR…maybe the regionals will have MPL cruise RJ pilots hahahahahahahaha! Captain's leg, every leg, for great success!
