Honestly I'd rather do 10 flights per day to Amsterdam than 8 individual flights to awesome international layover cities. I go to work to make money as efficiently as possible. I'll travel the world on my days off and go to places that I actually want to go. So I take any increase to our flying as a victory, even if the variety decreases!
And no, I don't wear New Balance sneakers. Nor do I have an affinity for Irish bars or Applebee's

Those were some seriously good layovers, especially 48 hours plus.

Hey, how bout we make an DALPA advisorary board that the company has to inform prior to any new route expansion. This board would then have the power to review the proposed city layover and write an LOA to be voted on by us.....and if the layover doesn't meet our"dope" threshold....we nix it
Yea, that's the ticket

New service, resumption of service -- neither one should matter to pilots, it's growth or stagnation that matter. The company can call it whatever the stuff they want, but if the route is flown by a plane and pilots who used to be on a different route which no longer exists -- the Delta way -- then it's worthless to the pilot group. If the route is flown on a newly acquired plane that didn't replace an old plane and the company had to hire additional pilots to properly staff the new route, then it's a pilot group win.
And for the record, I'm not saying that Delta as a company is stagnated, recapturing regional flying has been awesome for both me and the company. But on the WB side it's been nothing but shuffling the deck chairs.

Do we still have 88 different categories? This would be a net gain of 1.4 pilots per category?
How many additional aircraft by June 2020?
