That's the problem. We have been working for this since the year 1999 when Delta bought Comair, and then ASA. The problem is that while DALPA has the power and capital to force DAL management to do it, they see no value in such. They don't think it's worthwhile to waste it on us (insert slam against regional pilots here _________.) They always fall back on "we just can't force management to do it". Sure they can. They will just have to give something up to recapture the flying. They retort that WE would be giving nothing and getting a windfall, so it's "not fair" that they should give, and not us. But WE really don't have anything to offer, except seats on the RJs, which they don't want. See the circular logic? That's why it will never happen, despite the fact that it really is the only way to put the RJ genie back in the bottle. THAT'S the value to them.
