That should scare all our new pilots to their core.
THE RJS ARE SAVING OUR BACON!
We are making the same scope concessions over and over and over again.
Where will that lead?
We can and do. That is the fallacy of your position. Look up each airlines total international block hours. All three airlines are very close. Delta if you go back 30 years has shown far more growth in international. It started way behind. You might also wonder if UAL and AMR have to many seats in some markets and that is part of the reason their yields and profits are worse then Delta. Do we have the right fleet and they have the wrong fleet? Profit is the endgame so I would suggest we might have a better fleet mix.
