It sure isn't gaining traction with some of the Captains I've been flying with. One guy didn't even know what an E-175 was and the other guy agreed that we should let DCI fly them unless they pay DC-9 pay to bring them to mainline. He thought it was the stupidest idea on earth to bring them over with the current pay then try to negotiate higher pay later. Both of them thought I was a junior guy whining and that DALPA was doing just fine on the issue. They didn't get it that for every two 76-seaters we saw, there was one less Delta captain junior to them on their list.
