The business is measured by financials not airframes. Do you think Delta didn’t have anything to do with increased capacity in the scope precedent setting year? Take a look at AM’s investor information from the last few years. Delta runs that show.

Isn’t it great it’s allowed us to add flights to Mexico and feed a bunch more passengers into our domestic system allowing us to upguage and add additional flights! The ability to feed flights at both ends is what makes those additional transborder flights viable.

Ah, now I see your point. I think it's a little conspiracy theory-esque and pilot centric, but MAYBE you're right.

Training vs Conversion
So ...
1) Your projected training month is JAN, and
2) Your conversion month if MAR.
This means you can't be scheduled to finish sim training prior to FEB 16 -- otherwise you'd have to convert in FEB.
I'm guessing training really starts in late JAN. Correct?

Yes, but that date is a moving target until you are in class. My FEB training for a MAR conversion (2016 MOAB) was finally put on my schedule in MAY, then JUN and actually happened in JUL/AUG.

I actually admire the efficiency of the future business plan but as a pilot group we have to realize the consequences and not make excuses or rationalize this as beneficial to the unionized pilots. We will eventually be only a fraction of the pilots flying for the Delta brand. Hello whipsaw. It’s already happened at the regional level. Don’t think it can’t happen here.

It’s not conspiracy theory, it’s actually a great business decision and that’s the plan. Take control of more capacity without adding any. It’s much easier to limit Delta’s growth than the subsidiary which has to answer to the other half of their shareholders.
