If Delta likes to save money, which I would think they do. Then I’ve never totally seen the benefit of dropping CPZ to send it to Endeavor. That is millions of dollars in just parts buildup, training, adding staffing for west coast bases, etc, not to mention...the higher cost of pilots due to the wage difference.
Sending these planes to Skywest or wherever will still involve millions in training and now higher pilot wages.
Compass flies the oldest 175s and assuming the Skywest pay increase goes through. Will be the lowest paid operator flying for Delta.
No regional has the pilots on hand to staff all the CPZ planes.
I think it’s staying. Everyone thinks it’s going.

No, no, no, no! Do not try to bring logic and sound reasoning into a internet discussion. Unacceptable!

Couldn't something be said about savings down the line though? Surely the plan for the mid-late '20s (isn't it weird saying it like that) is to consolidate regionals since surely pay will keep going up in relation to pilot retirements. So does it make financial sense to take a hit now and switch the fleet to a new carrier where Delta employees will have direct access and control of the regional, and then down the line save cost? Just playing devils advocate.

First paragraph, both DL/AA planes included in the Embraer parts pool system.
