Yes 100% correct complaining on a form isn't going to change paycheck or anything. Other then moving on to other opportunities as I am sure you are suggesting where is there to complain? ALPA and mainline pilots surly haven't done a good job and because of greed and IDC probably never will.
Funny isn't it maybe about 15 years ago you would have to be at a mainline to be flying a 76 seater. Wonder what would have happened to all Endeavor pilots back then had DAL bought Endeavor. Also, ever wonder why ALPA had to adjust its ALPA merger policy after DAL bought COMAIR as it was a little vague between mainline and regional buyout? Others have inferred that DAL needs to protect their brand so I guess there isn't much to protect as long as it is less then 77 seats. Yeah makes sense to me. Currently we have Deny NAI. Again a mainline thing but what happened to denying anything above 30 seats?
As long as we have a two class system with discriminatory practices and policies favoring one group over another this will not go away and all on the doorstep of mainline and ALPA who created it. Now everyone just move on.
