Mesa Management is currently negotiating a 5% pay cut for its pilots. I think I would rather see an airline close its doors before pay and QOL gets any worse; at least at the regional level.

I might be wrong, but I don't think Delta can just get rid of 200s unless the leases are up. Even if we file for "B", the only thing Delta can do is swap them for something else or move them to another company.

Bigger is better and more profitable in this market, Pinnacle is not going to shrink to profitability. I just don't see how Delta can be pulling the strings on this, as much as they would like to get rid of the 200s they still need them for the time being. Even if they could get rid of all of them tomorrow they couldn't physically do it, all their international customers need a way to get to their hubs.

More bridge /No interview programs? Greeeeat.
I can hear parents' credit cards swiping furiously already! Do they mean from instruction to right seat mean giving the instruction, or receiving the instruction? Good Lord, when is the ATP rule coming out? Even the inevitably watered down version should hopefully put a stop to this. I am all for structured schools, they are good to great, but come on! How hard up is the industry? Furloughs happening/pending at present...
And does this mean a Delta State grad would be put ahead of other pilots, regardless of their experience level? Horse apples.
