We will all have 75hr lines with little chance to pick up more. Sure there's plenty of ways to top 75 hrs now but why would you think it will always be that way?
DAL will be laughing all the way to the bank as we ALL take a pay cut. There's a reason they post $1 billion profit per quarter. They know how to dangle a carrot in front of foolish regionals then pull it away.
You have to remember a good chunk of the pilot group can't even vote yet. I think you'll see an overwhelming no vote to a PAY CUT. For anyone. I do 75 hours a month because I enjoy life at home. No reason I should make less. No I don't want to pick up flying. I'd vote yes if they threw in flow then I'd pick up a trip to gain the difference. But it's Delta and flow will never happen
