The flow is a wonderful thing though long term you are wrong about the requirements to flow. Even the first group that has less restrictions still has to meet with the approval of DL instructors, examiners, Line Check pilots, Line Captains to remain with DL. If all of those people sign off that a guy should be at DL, that’s surely more meaningful than a 30 minute conversation with a panel. Originally Posted by Finessed

I believe the DL and 9E unions have suggested the aircraft being brought up to mainline. The two tiered system was created in the first place when mainline pilots traded dollars for scope, or failed to contemplate scope. It seems like DL has been moving in the opposite direction for a while, bringing flying back to mainline and that’s pretty cool. I think we agree there’s little point in keeping the aircraft on a separate airline if doing so does not creating a savings on labor costs.
As to complaints, its more like, these guys are getting hired at other airlines, and its not presently worth it to stay at “the JV airline” (as you childishly deride it). You can laugh at them all you want but they’re getting hired at every Legacy, major, LCC and freighter. The newer guys just starting out have to make a choice where to go too. You can stamp your feat and tell them not to complain about anything but they’re just going to go elsewhere if the offer is not competitive.
