Those were a lot closer than you can imagine.

Just the simple fact that the FMC would not transition well was reason enough to scrap the program.

I'd be happy to fly an Embraer for Delta mainline.

You may get your chance, we will see what they decide. Many options currently.

Which leads me to a question that's been nagging at me since I got into this business:

Why must the junior-most captain make more than the senior-most FO?

If we're worried about scope and seats and the airline is worried about cost, why not make, say, ERJ-175 Captain pay less than, say, 777 FO?

The airline gets more flexibility, the pilots get more seats, and everyone wins.

Better yet why not seniority based pay???

If you look at our rates, they do.
