I’ve been following and reading this whole thread. I see valid points on both sides. However, this comment about RJs harms your prior arguments. The propel program is a proxy way of hiring right seat into RJs at Delta and has been extremely successful. However, like you said the company will never want mainline flying RJs. Cheaper to outsource and use something like the Propel program to put butts in “delta seats.”
