I know that's a lot of "what ifs," but still something to think about?
Completely understand. In this market, any airline looking at shedding pilots would be nuts. We have a small but seemingly stable fleet of 200s for now, as other carriers look to operate more large RJs, we might end up being amongst the last of 50 seat feed for Delta. Even as a niche market, it will always exist. No where really offers a guarantee, but the vast majority I come across here at 9E are content.
