[QUOTE=saab2000;1950280]. Buy a ticket on Delta? It should be flown by Delta pilots. Period. /QUOTE]
I bet if enough awareness was made to the public, and a law was introduced saying if you buy a ticket on DAL you have to fly on a DAL operated plane, the public (Colgan families I think especially) would back it.
I think it's sad we can fly United passengers on a united owned and painted ejet, but we aren't good enough to be united pilots.
