Don’t post often but as a Delta guy, former regional, I want to explain our problem so this isn’t a 9E vs Delta pilots issue:

Delta pilots don’t have an issue with the flow, and we also would love to see career progression for 9E guys. Our issue is solely against management and how they are handling this.

most of you know the SIL debacle, downgrades and UNAs mistake, etc etc. When compass shutdown and furloughs looked likely, we said we need a flow back to replace Compass for them to continue to operate the 35 RJs. They refused to try to reach an agreement. Mind you, this is when furloughs were to occur, and most of us received THREE furlough letters. Now that furlough is way past us, the company wants to talk and give us a flow back?!?! They want their 35 RJs flying. They are circumventing the union and scope to try to get what they want, when they want it. This isn’t about either pilot group, but completely about scope and them doing whatever they want to violate scope. (For those than don’t know, Delta was still flying these RJs when they knew they weren’t suppose to be)

I understand that this is a huge win for 9E, but if you TRULY want to be at Delta you need to look at the bigger picture here. This kind of behavior and approach is unacceptable. If it’s stopped now, your career while here will undoubtedly be better for it. If this is allowed, it will only continue to get worse as they see they can get away with more and more.

It’s very unfortunate how pilot groups are trying to be played against each other, but everyone needs to understand where the anger is being placed, and it IS NOT against 9E pilots. Again, I wish for each of you to be here as soon as today.
