Not entirely. Staple to DL will be announced in 2 weeks. All "Regional" aircraft (CRJ and ERI) will be operated by us under a 5 year fence before we can bid to the larger aircraft. DL hiring will be 2 tiered, you interview and if they think you need more experience, you fly the regional stuff at lower rates for 5yr, or if you are a fighter pilot you go right to a Boeing or Airbus. Watch for the announcement, it's coming.
If you're going to make stuff up, may as well go big.
