why wouldn’t DL be able to compete? If you are so opposed to flying an RJ for a year at mainline wages I’m not sure you are talent worth competing for. Didn’t we used to have 737-200s (basically RJs) at a significantly lower rate in the late 90s and early 2000s? Did DL have a hard time finding applicants then? I’m not sure we would need a much higher rate than we have now. Maybe bump it up to our E195 rate but it won’t have to pay 717 pay to make it worth our time.
