I bet the average "off the street" hire puts in some massive hours preparing for a DL/UA/AA/etc interview. What percentage of the SSP (especially early ones) did that in your honest opinion? In any case I don't see DL management ever going for a flow when there are other ways to get as many pilots from pretty much any regional that they want. YMMV.

As for being "against DCI", we're just against the outsourcing of our jobs that's all. We're not "against Alaska" we're just against DL management filling up half the seats on 14 flights a day between a single city pair without us flying it once (that's an extreme example and has been corrected due to market forces but not due to our scope and that needs to change to prevent it from occurring in the future).
