Another thing to consider, from what I have seen over a decade of reserve, is that RR actually increases schedule disruptions for line holders, because RRs are used as a last resort. If you have ever sat RR, you rarely ever get assigned anything. It also results in poor reserve utilization.

If we give the company another means of contact while removing something that most impacts pilots that the company wants to retain, then that's a double-win for the company.
Those are fair points, but again, the overall percentage of impacted pilots is small. Ready reserve as leverage works in our favor. We need big gains to offset both that and direct contact.

Retention bonus greater then AA. Delta pay for the 900 and a seniority number. That would almost guarantee no attrition. It’s going to cost a lot to keep this airline running. I know everyone going to say then Delta might as well absorb us. If that’s what it takes, then that needs to happen. Everyone is in the same boat. We need to be much better then everyone else to survive. Period!

Is matching AA's wholly owned retention package really in the realm of possibilities? Is it even working at PT/OH/MQ? I'm all about a Regional that does something to help it's attrition, but I wonder how effective throwing bonuses at people really is. Just my two cents.
The only way to get people to stay, is for Delta to become far and away the highest paid airline. That’s not going to happen, and right now Delta has become a young pilot airline. Also, Delta has recaptured more regional flying than the other majors, so there is an unseen additional seniority bonus at AA/United, when they recapture their regional flying.

as for MSP, really not sure, but I’d guess within 4-6 months you could hold it as a reserve anyway.

Exactly why Delta is taking a dozen or more 220s a year and offsetting the longer RJ flying. If the cost is going to be high, bring it in house where there’s no operational redundancy running a “Connection”. Like I said, look at the 220 bid packs, they tell the story better than I can.

Again, once prices on tickets go up, the demand goes down. You dont have to cover nearly as much flying as you think you do.
Take every dollar you can and move to the next airline. Dont stick around.
Get that flow number to 50 a month, attrition skids to a near stop.

Look at the size of DCI in 2010, and look at it now. Of all operators carrying DL passengers (DL, Endeavor, Skywest, Republic) only one is growing its seniority list reliably. RJ shuttle flying is being dropped into the bid pack as we speak. Look at the stuff out of LGA that used to be 100% RJ. It’s not just 220s, there’s what, 18 321neos coming this year, and over two dozen used 739s, they’ll all filter in and around the system.
Guarantee the same arguments over 50 seaters now were had over props. “You can’t get rid of them, too many markets” etc etc.
JetBlue losing a pilot a day, spirit has 50+ resignations for the month. It’s everywhere.
