When Delta is getting rid of the 200s and shrinking the airline, why would they give us anything? They're saving tens of millions of dollars every month by not giving us a raise. The reality is they don't have to right now. They won't until the market forces them to. Then they'll run around with their hair on fire looking for an extinguisher.

The reality is there is no reason to apply or stay here unless you REALLY like flying NYC for 70% less than your regional peers. Positive space will be gone in a month, so commuting will suck even worse than it does now. Who knows , maybe new hires like ice cream and mystery meat.
