Overall how do mainline pilots feel about their brothers at the regionals? Honest answers please...

So out of those 150 A/C expect at least 80% to go to ASA and/or Skywest
Not quite.....

"Under the agreements, which have initial terms of 15 years (subject to certain extension and termination rights), Delta has agreed that ASA will provide at least 80% of all Delta Connection departures from Atlanta, and that at least 50% of ASA's Delta Connection departures will be from Atlanta."

No where is it ever discussed what percentage of new Delta flying has to go to anyone.

I Know 100% that there is a clause that says Skywest gets at least 40 or 50% of DCI growth

this is the same thing happening with XJT and they lost 69 planes so far, Comair lost 12, pinnacle lost 15 and everyone jumped ship and boom they are with NWA for 12 years now etc, we just have to go with the flow! Its the nature of the business. I dont think Comair would hire and train all these people if they are going under!

Are you kidding? Major Airline Pilots could care less. They say... "I feel sorry for them" with a fleeting sigh of disregard.
