The 76 seat Jet at DCI directly takes jobs from mainline imo. I could care less how many 34 seat props, 40 and 50 seat jets that Delta has. Those aircraft inherently have a hard time competing with mainline jobs. So while it would be nice to "Cap" DCI flying I am very much against giving up any additional scope to DCI especially the 70 seat and above flying. At some point that 70 seat jet line has to stop creeping higher.
My thoughts on this? I won't vote for ANYTHING that gives up even 1 more 70 seat jet to DCI. I've been junior at Delta long enough, not really looking to prolong the pain.
Very well said, agree 100%
