It's the "DCI shuffle" all the delta connections are doing each others routes.

No dog in this hunt, but it seems like a potential greivance for Delta pilots if their scope states that Delta flying will done by Delta pilots on the Delta senority list, which I'll bet it does.

I swear if I have to give up my leather jacket to wear a Delta uniform, I'm gonna lose it!!!

Starting around May, the amount hours Pinnacle does to/from NYC should be greater or about equal to that in MSP. There are already more and more ATL/CVG flights.

They did (tried) this at ASA about 3 years ago. Nobody did it. It was the same argument then, as it is now:

"If you want me to look, talk, and act like a Delta pilot, you should pay me like a Delta pilot."

I hope they do grieve it.

While back I got into it, with presumably a Delta pilot, about how Comair is/isn't Delta. My argument was that I carry Delta customers on Delta owned planes that have Delta painted on the side. Our company follows Delta into bankruptcy (not because we had too) and makes concessions because Delta needs it. I don't intend to rehash this debate, but it seems as though Delta wants DCI to be Delta only when it is convenient for Delta.

It's just not right. For the customers and the employees.

I believe Compass Flight attendants recently got a read file that instruct them not to say Compass, operated by Compass, or Delta Connection, just Delta FLT XXXX
