It is. So after we lose the 6 170s we will have 56 airplanes (I think) for right around 800 pilots. Other airlines have been plagued by staffing issues (express, republic, air wisconsin, go jet and others) which makes me wonder why we are getting rid of airplanes that are properly staffed. The name of the game right now is getting pilots on property and covering the flying. Certainly Delta realizes this..
