And oh yes, count me in, staple Compass and lets start ordering E175s. 100% for it. And my vote is to only staple Compass and not any of the other DCIs. So thats my two votes. Actually, third vote, give furloughed Midwest pilots preference in interviewing, they earned it.
Are you suggesting getting rid of the dc9 for E175's? If that's the case you do realize there is a huge pay difference.
I'm sure there is nothing preventing delta from ordering all the E175's or even C152's it wants. To capture that flying you just can't loosen scope. That way it forces management to keep the flying at delta (or any other major) The pilots decide who fly's the airplanes (scope) and management decides which airplanes to buy.
One other thing, why is it only compass that gets stapled and not the others Delta own?
