Freight Dog said:That's good news. Now why does Delta have furloughed pilots again while all DCI is hiring?
Two reasons, really.
1. Delta pilots priced themselves out of the game with their last contract. When tables turned, they arrogantly decided to sacrifice their 805+ most junior pilots instead of accepting a rollback. The most ironic part of this is that the furloughed pilots are brainwashed into thinking this is the best course of action.
2. DCI has much lower operating costs. This is because withhout the support of "DALPA" and ALPA national, we have no leverage to raise our compensation to be in line with mainline compensation. Until we raise our compensation to a per seat rate equal to that of mainline, we will be cheaper to operate and Delta will continue to shift flying to us.
