Hell, even if you straight copied Endeavors hourly rates with Delta work rules, you’d have folks jumping to fly an RJ here.
CRJ is probably easier than the 88 but that’s about it. Overhead panel aside, the 73 did a lot that the CRJ just didn’t in terms of automation. But unlike everything else at DL there is no VNAV or auto throttles, I wonder how many ASAPs we would have in places like MSP if we brought the CRJs over.
