The RJ problem will self correct itself in the next few years with the shortage of pilots to fly them, the JV deals mean no more WB growth for Delta.

Please, please, please....no more large RJs unless they are flown by Delta pilots on the Delta seniority list for Delta wages.

DCI is struggling to even come close to staffing what they have now for the summer schedule. It will be even worse the next few years. I doubt more large RJ's will even be discussed. I'm sure they want more seats in what they have, but they can't staff more airframes and doubt we will see a push for that.

What we will see is a push to soften the language of our JV balance agreements which means widebody Delta jobs go to AF/KLM, Virgin, GOL, and Aeromexico......and soon China Eastern. Way more of a threat to Delta pilots than the RJ threat at this point.

It's gotten to the point with some Captains I've flown with that I can actually turn my entire side down to zero and just listen through my noise canceling headsets to their speaker. I can even hear them talk fine and carry on a conversation because they are screaming over the wind noise and speaker. I just shake my head in disbelieve at these guys. Wish the company would start embracing modern technology and put hot mikes on our airplanes. Every time I talk to somebody higher up about this it falls on deaf ears (literally...pun intended) :rolleyes:

I will often get bad feedback on my noise canceling when they have the speaker turned up. It drives me crazy. You don't need the speaker turned up when you have the headphone on both of you ears. Many times I just cut my volume off because their speaker is so loud. Noise cancelling is the way to go.

True, unless the mainline operations lobby for and get relief on the 1500 hour rule.

Delta is already flying RJs at mainline...

I have been concerned about the wide body issue since the first time I saw a Delta aircraft painted in Skyteam colors. I was just in Amsterdam and saw a KLM aircraft painted in Skyteam colors. I thought it was Delta when I first saw it. Definite threat.
