DALPA understands and realizes the cost benefits that allowing regional service, commuter, etc... to fly for Delta. It's good for the company and a bargaining chip for their negotiations.
It was as simple as that about 15 years ago... However, DALPA was so shortsighted to see what management would be capable of with new technology like the RJ.
Too bad, so sad. Now Delta pilots suffer from their own mistakes, and ultimately the commuter/Regional pilots (C scale mainline) are in the same big pot just wearing different color stripes on our shoulders making 2/3 less than we should.
You can thank your Mainline union for negotiating your pay scale and continuing scope to battle thier own mistake.
