I really don't see why some FDAL guys are so against this.

More airline airplanes so mid level guys that want to fly the left seat can.

Recapturing some flying lost. Hopefully if this happens all future 76 seat airplanes will go to mainline.

Maybe it is because FDAL guys want the airplane and don't think that CPZ guys are worth it. That is fine but if everything stays the same and DAL starts to hire the 1st 20 guys in each class will be CPZ anyways.

This should be not even need a discussion. It benefits all pilots under DALPA.

It may not seem apparent to senior CA but it is better in the long run. Look at Air Canada they fly the E175 and the 3rd year pay rate is 60 an hour for the right seat and 114 an hour in the left seat.


At those pay rates I am sure a lot of FO with gladly fly this airplane
