Solution!!!!! Every airline should swap PWAs with with their peers. Every airline Pilot would be in airline pilot heaven.

You's guys stay at cheap hotels domestically, don't get First Class seats when traveling to training, let the company push you to extend to FAR 117 extension limits without pay, and worst of all let the company farm out a large portion of your international WB flying. Plus in my 22 year career there have been set backs, but I've been able to fly almost every plane we have 737, 757, 767-200,300,400, 777 and now A320, and along the way I've seen the world from Rio to Milan to Tokyo to Delhi to Moscow and countless other cities.
I'm very happy to be at UAL.
Of course, it is true I might be slightly envious when PS time comes round . . .

Just wanted to quickly address the common misconception that Delta farms out a large majority of its international flying. In terms of pure international widebody block hours Delta is number two behind UAL. Delta has always had a significant amount of international widebody flying, but where the angst comes from is the fact a large portion of that flying is on the lower paid 767-300ER. With the arrival of the 330NEOs our international large widebody flying is slated to increase.
What the JVs have done is allow Delta to operate to destinations and theatres it couldn't on its own. As you probably know your partnership with ANA has helped United become a powerful force in the Pacific (Especially at Haneda) and Delta has had to partner with Korean to revamp its Pacific Network after Narita was made relatively irrelevant by the Japanese Gov't ruling. Our Virgin JV turned us from runner ups at Gatwick to a Powerhouse at Heathrow. Our AeroMexico JV has increased mainline block hours to Mexico by 9%.

Total BS IMO, there's 0 chance of anybody effectively swapping sleep patterns like that on a 3 day trip. Hopefully the pilots fatigue out and teach Delta the error of their ways.
