New service, resumption of service -- neither one should matter to pilots, it's growth or stagnation that matter. The company can call it whatever the stuff they want, but if the route is flown by a plane and pilots who used to be on a different route which no longer exists -- the Delta way -- then it's worthless to the pilot group. If the route is flown on a newly acquired plane that didn't replace an old plane and the company had to hire additional pilots to properly staff the new route, then it's a pilot group win.

And for the record, I'm not saying that Delta as a company is stagnated, recapturing regional flying has been awesome for both me and the company. But on the WB side it's been nothing but shuffling the deck chairs.
