Competitors wiped out and a glut of Widebodies are available for cheap. Delta continues to receive 330 and 359 deliveries. With Delta WB growth over the next few years I wouldn't be surprised to see new hires going to the 350, or 2007 or later hires on the 350/330/765 A postions. The future is bright, and it's a wonderful time to be a Delta pilot. I believe the Scope language will reflect that

How could anyone think this after the billions and billions Delta sank into foreign carriers over the past 10 years? If Delta really wanted to do this flying this scope agreement would have been out a year ago. And we'd already have a TA allowing us to actually hire pilots. Delta wants to do the minimum amount of flying they can get away with and still make a buck without having to use Delta employees. Delta is only following the globalization model of the last 30 years.
