Ed also said, when asked about pilot hiring (by MSNBC I think) he said none is planned for this year. However, if growth continue then it js possible they'll hire pilots and flight attendants by the end of the year.

There are no major decisions at these subsidiaries that Delta is not a part of. Aircraft purchases, routes, branding etc. The proper mind set will be required to evaluate the proposed SCOPE landscape change in the upcoming Sect. 6 negotiations. In other words, there is no plausible deniability when it comes to our "partners" (subsidiaries) which is a consistent argument management tries to use.

I have been lobbying for our MEC to do their homework. They need to understand these new JV structures.

well I for one don't enjoy being so short staffed that theres zero schedule manipulation allowed. Summer of 2019 was bonkers, if they claim that summer of 2022 is going to be close to 2019, and we were understaffed then, then maybe we should get the ball rolling. I'm not holding my breath for it, just a thought to not be running "hot" like before.

Summer 21 will be more lucrative for pilots than summer 19 was due to the less than ideal staffing decisions that have been made.
