May take a few years but upgrading is going to matter less and less in the future anyway. Good to have it, but not a show-stopper if you don't. Too much may even hurt your chances if you want to go to a major in the future. They don't want new FOs who think they know how to be a captain better than the captain.
We see it already. Delta is taking more FO's from SkyWest than Captains..............

Are the FOs female?

Seriously, I have NO idea what's so hard to understand;
If if comes down to it, and none of the three sides can agree to an integration, can you show us ANYWHERE in the McCaskill bond that requires a precedent?
That's a serious question, I haven't read the whole thing. Which is more than can be said for LOTS of other people discussing this topic.
Do you even know what the "ALPA template" consists of now that there's been changes?

Airlines also know that they can trap a pilot with no PIC in today's market. I know several furloughed pilots with little or no turbine PIC who can't get an interview at many places because of that requirement. Not to say Delta is doing this, but they may. Endless reserve and a commute attached to it for the new hires? (just speculating, but it appears that way.) Saves on training if your bottom guy catching all the junior flak doesn't have the option to go somewhere else. Just a thought. No Delta bashing here. I'd fly for them. Just my take on their hiring pilots without the vaunted PIC everyone else requires.

That would explain it. What a deal for those guys, government pension and now a job at Delta. Only doing the regional dance for a couple of years. I am jealous.
