This is a nice reminder of how daddy delta treats their regionals.

True, Dirk, you remember what they did to Comair?
"Mama" Delta as we called them shut the place down because pilots wanted a living wage, and the QOL was horrible. I was a ramper back then, what they did to us was is the same as they do to all their regional feed. I was talking to an Endeavour crew, and they were actually talking of a lateral move due to their QOL being so bad.
