It's a genie that was let out a bottle a long time ago. Who has a plan to put the genie back in "cleanly"?

Delta is a separate company with a separate vetting process. Besides some outliers, it's been that way for a long time. Everyone in the industry knows that. Years ago when I started flying I knew there was an interview to get on at the "bigs."

I was excited to come to this pilot group because I think it is different. Attitude and culture. These are very hard to imbue. I've dealt with flows at the AA reigonals...some are cool but some are....how do you say...less motivated than someone with their sights on interviewing at a major?

That said I hope I don't come off as denigrating regional pilots, they are hard working. I would like to see the flying brought back in house in a way that doesn't just snatch the flying back and leave RJ pilots without a job.
