Slot Swap... What a disappointment. Massive infrastructure expenditure to support more outsourcing. It's no surprise now that the last bid was a net zero. To say that this supports upgauging in other hubs ignores the fact that no new captain seats are available to anyone in the system on a net basis. If a market like NYC can't support mainline service, then why would DTW, SLC, MSP be able to do so?
What's more, this represents a major downgrade to our product. Our HVC's will leave in droves after being subjected to the regional experience. In a market like NYC, with all the media exposure, this impending service disaster will likely lead to more reactionary laws and 'customer bill of rights' type of legislation that will further erode our careers and the status of the airline we work for. FAIL : (

There was a "Should Compass be stapled?" poll back when that was being discussed and it included four different levels of response with varying criteria for the yes or no.
Go do a search for it on here and see the astonishing number of your peers who voted a full fledged, no exceptions, "NO" for the staple idea which would place the E175 at mainline.

That argument is moot anyway. It ain't gonna happen no mater how much we would want it.

What many are not going to see because it was not in a sound bite is this: DAL will be pulling more and more RJ lift out of other hubs like ATL in favor of mainline aircraft. Those 50 seat RJ's that were in ATL are going to go to MEM and those jets that were in MEM will be performing flying in LGA. It is not a a simple addition of mainline flying in LGA that we will see. It is the effect on the other hubs that we will need to take note of.

Do not mistake me offering logic for a lack of desire to reign in outsourcing. Far from it. At a min, I want a sunset clause for all DCI CPA's and a moratorium on all new contracts or extensions. The stuff needs to be flown here, period. My point is that, LGA will provide growth for DAL pilots, even under the current section 1, and I explained how.
You are right too Scambo, we gave it away, and now we are seeing the fruits of the concession. Ten plus years of stagnation, and unless we get all of Section 1 right, whether it be in a extension, modification, or a completed traditional section 6, this has to be fixed, period.

And I still fail to see how this will garner any meaningful growth for the mainline pilots. This announcement just reinforces that this is a fantasy.
