Well, between SkyWest and ExpressJet, who have jumpseat priority on each other's flights ahead of every other carrier, and fly 760 aircraft to over 250 US cities...jumpseating is a pretty easy thing to do. Congrats on your win with Delta mainline.

What? Is it a competition? 760 jets flying all over the country with pilots at the controls that are paid half the wages of mainline pilots is not something to boast about. It is a travesty and everything that is wrong with this industry.

I survived two bankruptcy's now (Mesaba and Pinnacle). After a while you can connect the dots and figure out what their plan is or was. Like a previous poster said, it wouldn't take much to right this sinking ship. So at this point one has to wonder, do they want to fix things? It looks to me like they just want to make us float and flounder until it's time to pull the plug. Also Delta does operate us as if they were their own airplanes. Soon almost every major funtion will be in Atlanta. Do you realize how much easier it will be for them to shut us down verses Comair? Shame on us for ever trusting Delta.

Just get the McCaskill Bond Amendment for regional pilots as mainline says they want to take the flying back.

Unions don't merge airlines, managements do. You're putting the cart in front of the horse and showing how deeply you misunderstand things.
