And if the other majors are doing the same thing (Blacklisting their own DCI carriers), everyone is simply poaching one another's regionals. Makes no sense.
Those pilots are going to leave for someone, it might as well be for their own 'parent'...
IMHO, there are plenty of qualified people not from DCIs lining up at the door for DL (lots of AS, B6, F9, NK, SY, and 5Y are showing up in every class), as long as that continues to be the case, why rob Peter to pay Paul…
DL is in the business to move airplanes both mainline and DCI…however they need to accomplish that keeping reliable feed, they will. It’s unfortunate for those trying to get here from DCI carriers but that is where we are in the industry from a FL300 view
