Interesting that you don’t see those new rates at the regionals changing the equation… You said it yourself - those rates are for retention at the regionals. If pilots are not leaving the regionals, where does the next round of 200 show up to interview at Delta from?
You don’t seem to believe the retention contracts will work at the regionals. I do, which leaves Delta at a loss to fill those 200 positions a month. Thus - a pilot labor bidding war has begun.
