What will DAL do about their declining feed? Do they have a plan in place to replace the regional flying that is being lost due to the worsening pilot shortage?

Interesting math. Still looking for the 1996 pay chart. But, in 1994, a 7ER Captain made a base rate that was 36 dollars per hour higher than an MD88 Captain. Today the difference is 19 dollars per hour. That's off higher rates, so adjusted for that it would be like making 40 dollars difference from the MD88 today. That gap went away because we took a huge cut on the 7ER fleet. As I said, we are flying it for what amounts to narrowbody rates.
It's interesting to look at those old pay charts, then factor in the touching trips, 6 weeks vacation for senior guys, 1 for 2, etc... we have a lot to recoup. I know the execs have kept up with inflation, and then some.

It would be nice if there was some way to input your birthdate and determine how many of these potential retirements were senior to you.
I fly with a lot of guys who are junior to me and a lot older. So, many retirements aren't really going to help me. After all, it's all about me

Try this website, one of the Delta pilots put it together. It's free and he updates it monthly. https://www.ezopenboard.com/delta/

Prove that. That is the crux of many a discussion on here. I have NEVER seen anything that says that we make fleeting decisions. I will buy you a steak dinner if you can show me where a Delta pilot ever made any deal with either Boeing or Airbus... We have never even had input as to what airplanes the company will buy. Your 717 reference is a fail because you know exactly what I am talking about, and that doesn't even come close to it.
