It wasn't all from getting rid of the three holers, 727's, L1011's. Delta as a company was flying around the same amount. Where did they go? I think we all know.
And Yes, I would fly as a Captain on the CRJ-900/EMB-170-195, so don't go there AlfaRomeo.
His retort is would you do it as an FO? My answer is yes, if it has a DAL seniority number attached to it. I wasted 10 years in longevity because of this divide.
There are some here that think that scope limits those RJ's and if they were here we would have less large jets and more RJ's. A bigger loss of the higher paying jobs. My response it limit how many can fly on our ticket. We can do it for other airlines certificates we sure as heck can do it on ours.
