Like you, I want all Delta flying done by Delta pilots. If someone will trade me $4 for every $1 given, I would take that trade. If someone will give me 4 airplane's worth of flying for 1 airplane, that is a good trade that gets us closer to the goal.*

To get to NO DCI we must transition through LESS DCI.

* C2012's ratio was 1.125 to 1
* TA15 was 2 to 1 on jets, but 4 to 1 on the BHR

The DCI 50 seat jets are going away on their own. We do not need concessions to buy their number down.

But you knew that.
