However, with the rate resets due for Q3 2015, you wont see any announcements for Delta RFPs until afterwards. I would guess that any potential growth or transitions would start Q1 2016 at the earliest.

UAL is almost identical.

12 possible large RJs before scoping out. But the agreement with DALPA becomes amendable on Dec. 31, 2015. There could always be more relief in the works.

Sounds good to me. Only problem is that Skywest Inc doesn't own all DCI carriers. But they can merge the ones they do own and save money. Right?

The key for the transition is the B717 deliveries from SWA. A new 76 seater can come for each 1.25 B717 aircraft. Also, as certain amounts of 76 seaters come online, a certain number of 50 seaters must be removed from the DCI fleet.

I'm hardly a cheerleader for regional growth. I'm a cheerleader for other pilots looking to progress quickly with a good pilot group and have an opportunity to improve their QOL. I happen to work at an airline with lots of movement due to a huge chunk moving to Delta and I had nothing to do with negotiating more airplanes with AA. If you need a recommendation to come to Compass then I will gladly recommend......never mind. I would never recommend you and your attitude. You'd be miserable to fly with on a long 4 day.

I love how he actually shut up after someone who actually works at Delta put him in his place. I wish sgu would put a block on these forums on company computers so he wouldn't be able to spew idiotic statements from work all day.
