Seriously? All contracts have termination dates and generally they either get extended or new contracts are signed with somebody else. The DL contract, as I understand it, lasts until 2020 at which time it may - or may not - be renewed, but if the latter is likely ro be phased out pretty much like you indicate over the course of another year.

Nor is DL 80% of our flying but even if it was, don't be such a Chicken Little.

600+ people with an E170/190 type currency are an asset. They have inherent value. Pilots with 121 experience have inherent value. Look at the expense all regional's are going through right now to train people.

If you want to worry about something that actually COULD hurt us, worry about the price of oil. That goes too high and ALL flying EVERYWHERE goes down, and yeah, even the majors will be furloughing again. But right now we are flying 80+ hours a month, not sitting reserve someplace getting 20-40 hours a month. That's the full legal 1000 hours a year, and every hour is making us more valuable. Barring an industry wide cutback due to oil prices, nobody is going to be on the street very long no matter what contracts reach their expiration dates.

PS: you do realize a screen name of Mainline or Suicide is likely to cause the FAA AND any mainline company that you may apply to, to question your judgement. Chicken Little's they can tolerate, joking about suicide in the post GermanWings disaster era not so much.
