Once again: more RJ service and not mainline.

Last week I was waiting for my sister's (late) DAL flight in the park and wait lot in SLC. It was enlightening to see all the inbound flights to SLC by carrier and flight number. It looked at first glance like DAL was by far the largest carrier, but when you looked subtracted all the 4xxx flight numbers (RJ's) there were precious few mainline flights.

SLC is to me a prime example of DALPA's sell-out of scope and the ramifications for Delta pilots.

When I transferred to SLC 12 years ago we (mainline) flew Salt Lake City to: Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell and Missoula. Today they are all RJ routes, as are Pocatello and Idaho Falls.

Thanks DALPA!
