Could we have E-175's in the same fleet as the 190's? If so, I see the DCI E-175's being transitioned to mainline over the next 5 years.

So by voting "NO", we held the line on large RJs AND the company bought the 190s. Sounds like it worked out well.

You know, good negotiators get back pay for drawn out negotiations.

Focused plus!

I would also bet that those are temporary jets for the E195X. Make sure the E19-whatever pays no less than MD88 rates.

It's pretty insulting slamming the RJ/commuter pilots.

I'm a Delta pilot. I came from the regionals/commuters.

The regionals call DAL pilots "Double Breasted Douche Bags." The earlier posts calling pilots "regional pukes" is exactly why.

Regional pukes will fly circles around a military pilot on day one of line ops. BUT, take that regional guy, and throw him into a military mission, and they'll suck too.

It would do Delta pilots well to stop acting like they are better than one kind of pilot or the other. We are either good pilots or bad pilots... No matter what the background.

It's a lot easier to treat people nicely than to be a DB.
