Some people just want to watch the world burn.

But doesn’t the bridge agreement state that if more than x% of our planes are moved to another carrier, they have to take the pilots too? Woo hoo! Delta here I come!!!

/sarcasm

Yes - however, DALs interpretation is that particular LOA only applied to Compass, which no longer exists. An easy out right now is publicly claim “oh we have 35 parked and thus compliant”. When those planes are needed, the new tune will be “well actually on further research, that deal was with Compass and they are gone.”

I understand allot of you don’t like this news. But don’t take my word for it, go look it up. Keep in mind how many scope violations DAL had last year alone. Don’t think for a minute they will protect bottom end scope just because they habitually disregard top end scope. It’s not holy ground to them.

The accountants disagree with you.

Thought you were flying a yellow plane now, why are you so interested in eastern regional you no longer work for anyway?

Havent flown any color planes since march. I loved my job at 9E. So I will butt into these threads as often as I see fit, bruh. I actually care about what my former compadres go through, good or bad.

Your previous posts suggest otherwise there, “bruh”.

Delta won’t bring the Regional aircraft to mainline on the simple fact that it would be a lot more costly for them to operate those aircraft with their pilot group and flight attendants also the added training cost to get those pilots trained into the CRJ/ERJ and to get the entire flight attendant group gained would be a massive cost at a time they are doing everything they can to conserve cash. A simple guess I believe force majeure the clause that lets a party cut ties or nullify a contract based on unforeseen events or an act of god will probably be used to free Delta from the scope obligation until normal times return and in the meantime they will utilize regional carriers to get back to a more profitable place until demand returns and those larger aircraft make sense on routes that they once were used on. There has also been talk that a carrier is looking at using the same clause to only pay two mouth of unemployment instead of the three months that is outlined but I don’t know how much truth is behind this. Again only my outlook on it I’m just going to go into the bunker to hide from the anticipated incoming fire. PS happy Independence Day.

They can't just waive a magic force majeure wand and do whatever they want. Their contract spells out what they can do under FM. My guess is that it is cheaper for them to violate scope and pay out the grievances than any other option.

I do agree that they will never bring RJs in house. It makes 0 sense to do that when you have an entire group of pilots already doing that job for a fraction of the price.

Thats fair I’m not intimately familiar with FM just something I had been hearing about and after reading into it some formed a theory or possibility but in no way do I know exactly what is underlined in Deltas contract with its pilots.
