Thanks for the explanation.

It'll be a bummer if folks get displaced onto the 717 from other equipment. It's a pretty happy group of people right now, it'd be too bad to get some grumpy folks who don't want to be there.

"Mini-dog," I like it. DogWhisperer needs to do something with that...

Delta pilots weighed down again by a bloated, ineffective bureaucracy.

We on the 717 like big butts. Boeing 777 has a big butt.

So as long as new hire classes are giving 88s, 73s, Baby buses, and even ERs - that probably will not happen.

Get used to rapid turnover....at least for awhile. Guys are gonna be moving constantly and it's not just pay. Domicile, less commuting, bigger equipment, there are 12,000 pilots and 12,000 reasons.

Enjoy the ride!!
