Of course a small jet feeds a larger jet in a hub, but there is no distinction between a DC9, an E175, or a 737. We woudl lose flow if we parked the 747's too. All these jets are integral parts of our network. The distinctions are meaningless and only butter our egos into believing we are only outsourcing flying we do not want to perform.
Well, my favorite airplane is the 757. Sorry for the rest of you, your jobs don't matter.
You totally miss the point. We will never reverse and take back the DCI flying to the level of your statement above: all Delta code will be Delta pilots. My point of defining what cities by size could be flown by DCI carriers has nothing, I repeat nothing to do with the size of aircraft that goes there. Simpilly put, if a city is over a certain population out side a hub, a mainline jet(flown by DAL pilots) serves it wheather it is a RJ or a 747. If you want to fly a 20 seat Sabb to Podunkville, quit DAL and go to work for someone who flies those airplanes dude. My question to you is how has the current scope language prevented DCI from flying hub to hub, ie. DTW- ATL-DTW?????
