Re: LGA expansion dupe

One of the guys on the DALPA forum suggested taking out a full page ad in the NYT calling the company out on their huge "expansion" in LGA and advising the public that Delta really isn't flying all of that new service, it's an outsourced RJ. I think it is an excellent idea, and time to show the company that this DCI cr@p won't be tolerated anymore.

I had a blast on the tune, identify, monitor world of the dc-9 for 3 years. Besides, it's not the prospect of flying analog for a few years that's going to scare guys off. It's the lousy pay and scope induced stagnation that will.

Ditto. It is a great idea... but you'll never get DALPA to do something like that.

When are you going to be done being "reasonable" about this stuff. RJs between giant cities is not something to be reasonable about. WE HAVE GIVEN TOO MUCH.

Is bringing the RJ in house and be the starting aircraft at Delta to much to ask?
