Awesome news!!!
Now here is the LOD answer to every question. 12 o'clock position means Automatic Operation per system logic. Delta has about 300 to 400 pilots that have 5000+ hours in the 170/190 family. It should be a breeze for us bucks to get reacquainted |

Yup. It was a foregone conclusion that we'd be getting aircraft we need to operate the schedule. We don't buy aircraft. Congratulations on not writing the check for these.
Any idea where they'll be based?

This proves pilots don't buy airframes. Glad we didn't fall for that carrot.

Thank you? Aircraft orders are not gifts to the pilots. That's not why they are ordered.

But at least they're going to be flown by DELTA pilots and not a bunch of regional punks. That in itself is a huge move in the right direction.

No they won't be flown by regional punks, so that's good. :rolleyes:
It'll instead just be a bunch of Delta d!ckheads. :D

Where's Bucking Bar? He's one of the primary guilty ones yelling that United would jump right on the 190s if we didn't vote yes.
Maybe the mods (LIKE YOU) should enforce the TOS unilaterally, ya think? |

We may not have 'fallen' for it, but jokes on us(at least those that fly it), bc the rates are terrible.

It makes me think when the 88 goes it very well could be replaced by the 190, except I doubt they'd do 174 E10s. More like 100 E190s and 40 739s to retain all of the capacity if that's what they even wanted to do. Or maybe 70 E190s, 40 739s and 20 320 on the used market. Who knows, it's their call anyways not ours, but the pay is our call and I think to totally treat the E190 and 88s as if they don't have overlap would be a mistake. |

Also worth noting- probation ends when upgrading to Capt. Having a new hire go straight to the left seat of an Ejet would deprive DL of the probationary period and all the associated checks and indoctrination. Not happening.
