You can say one airline is good without saying the other is crap. I said there’s a difference in line constructions. AS is typically easier flying but more days flying. Conducive to living in base. DL is more legs/work but more hard days off especially as a junior pilot. In terms of the Eskimo flying 78’s I’ll believe it when I see them actually operating. That’s a complete 180 from what they’re doing now in terms of “growth” (a few new routes and increase frequency).
WB’s, mergers, and organic growth have been discussed for years on end on this thread. It will not happen. It’s not in the Eskimo’s DNA.
