It’s not conspiracy theory, it’s actually a great business decision and that’s the plan. Take control of more capacity without adding any. It’s much easier to limit Delta’s growth than the subsidiary which has to answer to the other half of their shareholders.

I actually admire the efficiency of the future business plan but as a pilot group we have to realize the consequences and not make excuses or rationalize this as beneficial to the unionized pilots. We will eventually be only a fraction of the pilots flying for the Delta brand. Hello whipsaw. It’s already happened at the regional level. Don’t think it can’t happen here.
