From: the right side
I think DALPA would 100% say no, until they have a new PWA in place. Even then, they have no reason to agree to it. Stop saying it, it's not going to happen.

They don’t really have a reason not to agree to it - brings more flying in house which they always want. But yeah, if management wants it, DALPA would want concessions in return.

Staple EDV, and reduce the number of 76 seat Delta Connection jets that can be flown by the number of jets we have. I think that DALPA would be happy with that, but as previously mentioned, they would also be unwilling to look at anything before they have a new PWA.

Flow had been discussed for years before happening. There is zero discussion from any party on staple or integration. My assumption is you don’t want to lose your longevity by flowing to the bottom of the list.

I don’t really care either way. I was just looking at it as the most practical option. I’m just happy for everyone concerned. We are in uncharted territory and I think there will be very good news coming soon.

For those entering the industry via the regional airlines. There are some big changes coming. I've seen some well researched numbers on pilot hiring in 2022. Here's what is estimated:
For all the B737/A320 and larger size aircraft operators: Estimated number of pilots needed AFTER allowing for military, Part 135, and Corporate: 9,000
Total number of Regional Airline Pilots: 20,000
Something has to give. Either Regional Airlines will have to consolidate, or be folded into mainline (not going to happen quickly if at all), or mainline will have to curtail hiring plans and as a result cut back schedules. As some on this thread have already stated, with insufficient pilots the 50 seaters will probably windup on the used airliners lot. RJ Captains will especially be in short supply. This is why Airline Exec's are crying about the 1500 hour rule. That's shortsighted because lowering that will cannibalize many CFI's and then who's left to teach new pilots?
