Just maybe this will alleviate some of this and revenue passengers won’t be affected as much. So you’re right, Delta isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They’re just trying to take care of their customers the best way they can.

More to the point, I don’t think they would have done this if the market for pilots wasn’t what it currently is. JMHO.
