We are not operating the E190's and have no plans to. The C Series (program now encountering severe supplier delays) might show up in 2018. If that was the Captain slot someone wanted (@ $204 an hour + PS) the career progression, in a desirable base, was pushed at least 2 years.

... and while everyone called that a B scale, it was $20 an hour more than the 2011 Boeing 747 rate brought to the merger. With the effect of profit sharing make it $60 an hour more than the super-premium widebody captain seat which I'll never be able to hold.

I get that some in your camp simply hate all things Delta. Once one realizes the lenses you look at the world through, your platform makes perfect sense.
