If the 76 seat market is so important then let's force Delta to fly them with Delta pilots.
I agree, but that ship sailed with the merger. If we were smart, we (DALPA) would have rolled Compass up in our merger and we would have had 76 seat jets in our fleet. But, that didn't happen, obviously. I'm still scratching my head. Maybe it wasn't ever possible but I think we probably had the leverage. Upper level execs had enough on the line to twist their arm in my opinion.
