nope. delta ownes those. just like you did not have to intergate ASA pilots when those planes were transfered to you, DL would not have to take anyone from 9E if those 900s were transferred to DL.

There would be zero cost benefit to reducing ALV temporarily in exchange for more restrictive scope language.

Haha well the cost of adding a type to a certificate is astronomical, lucky for me!

Just because you have pay rates doesn’t mean it’s financially practical for an airline strapped for cash.

Do you really believe what you are writing or are you just stirring the pot?

3 X altitude to lose + 5 for slop. 1/2 GS X 10 for VVI. Looks like I don’t need VNAV.

I flew B-52s. I can handle no auto throttles thanks. In the 320 they are called thrust levers FYI.

Lol and I flew Lear 45s! No wonder why my DH was so rough the other day... it was Jaws flying the Airbus thinking he was on a bombing run!

Not to wish your coworkers at 9E any ill will, I’ve enjoyed meeting a number of them, but you make a strong case for gives in exchange for eliminating regional aircraft from our system. The new A220s burn as much or less than the RJs, go much farther, carry almost 50% more pax, and the customers love them. Win for the passengers. Win for Delta pilots.

Nah it was just us terrible delta pilots who don’t know how to fly. Thanks for showing us how it’s done. Guys like you really suck man. I have no issues with regional guys but some of you really have a chip on your shoulder.

My “chip” stems from guys like you who never did a regional stint. You need to pay your dues. Guess you will be come October.

Ive never been on a 220... each time I had nearly had the pleasure there was a maintenance problem forcing a massive delay. Maybe one day when they’re more reliable!!

Career day was open to everyone. You didn’t have to do a regional stint.

Lol. I did. Flew CRJ-200s. Been there done that. Wasn’t bitter I didn’t get the call as a mil guy when my buddies were getting it. Even after 8 Afghanistan/Iraq deployments. Kept a positive attitude, learned from my time, persevered, and am happily at a major. I’ve been here 5 years so I won’t be screwed yet come October, but many of my friends and colleagues will. I’m glad you are neither, you are like school in summertime. No class.
