Also, I'd like to see DAL's hiring mins and requirements(no SLI or staple). This would solve your prior post about bottom feeder contract carriers, because there would not be any!

What do you say? Would you fight for this kind of unity knowing you'd lose your job and have to re-interview? That way, DAL could "right size" the regional flying easier. Too bad we'd have to wait for some iron clad contracts to expire before this could become reality.

Would this make us unified enough?

BTW, since RA is not your CEO , it doesn't matter if you give him credit or not. Talk to any DAL pilot(especially junior) and we will give him(and DALPA) credit for not furloughing pilots(yet). So far, he is guiding this airline through rough times. I'll cautiously support him until he proves it's not justified(BTW, I'm FNWA and am familiar w/RA).

I like this idea. I'm already furloughed and doubt OH will be around long enough to recall, but I certainly would take my chances re-interviewing to fly the same plane I was flying when furloughed!
