Great post btw I completely agree with everything he said.
Best thing that could ever happen is for all the flying to return to mainline.
Delta pilots have a huge chunk of profit sharing under their current contract so they are in no hurry to vote in garbage and know mgmt needs to pass a TA to reduce the pilots share of PS. We have no such leverage. That said, I wish regional pilots as a whole would band together, demand more unanimously, and burn the FFD model down and send the flying to mainline. By retirements alone, not accounting for growth, we will all be at majors in the next 5 years anyway.
