Or you can just contract out the flying to the lowest bidder and let them worry about their "expensive" pilot group.

Nooooo....
Siad pilot group would then
a) Organize and demand higher compensation, backed up with the threat of strike which would shut down ALL of that major's feed, or
b) Merge with the mainline pilot group and demand even higher compensation.

Being owned by or working under DAL has zero benefits. They will slaughter every regional carrier under that umbrella and force thousands of pilot out on the street, or out of the business altogether. But hey, they are getting 717's. So in the creation of those jobs, they've destroyed double at their partners.

I'm pretty sure years of inept, corrupt, and idiotic management at Pinnacle is what put them into bankruptcy.

Come on guys/gals, you're labor; you've given up control of your careers by becoming pilots. This is business, nothing personal. It’s what has happened time after time and occurs in every industry in the world.
All this flying we do as subcontractors (regionals) belongs to mainline, don’t like it? Get out, find something new. Become your own boss, move on.
