I heard an interesting stat the other day
Captain I was flying with said that regionals fly about 60-65% of all DL's domestic flying.
Curious as to why the main line guys would let that happen? I know the big focus is on international but someone has to get people to the ATL, JFK, CVG, LAX, ect.....
For some reason I thought scope was more than the number of seats an aircraft has....
Can anyone confirm if this number is close to accurate?

I dug this up from the "United RFP???" thread
"The RFP was received on May 9th and the bid is due on May 21st .
It is a short-term RFP for 10 Q400s, 10 Dash-8s, 20 50-seat jets, and 20 70-seat jets.
Bids can be for any combination of those aircraft."
I don't know if that's the one, but that was the last i heard of it.
(Coincidentally almost identical to Mesa's fleet flown for United.....)

Not true: I know I'm arguing symantecs here but I thought the memo said we would be reducing up to 300 pilots. If you have a slot that is no longer needed, that is a reduction in and of itself. When I worked in a different life, we also went through a "downsizing". But alot of people had already left and therefore, those vacancies that were never refilled were counted as part of the reduction.
Just a thought.....maybe a little glimmer of light.....maybe

There's that wishful thinking again. I would imagine that none of the guys in the pool are factored into these numbers. I would say if you have started class, then you are included in the 300 number..
