Delta TOPS the list

[General Lee]

Well, so as long as Delta is #1, you guys better be "takin it back!" like Prater said. Start with the 32.5% you lost. Somehow, I have a feeling that just won't happen.

You might be surprised. Thanks to those profits, negotiations will not be so one sided, and thanks to Airtran being purchased by SWA, Delta cannot state "we can't compete because our nearest competition makes so little per hour...." SWA moving in on ATL actually helps the rest of us. Thanks a bunch. But, the main priority must be wiping out as many 50 seat RJs as possible, since they are so inefficient during high oil times. If that means parking another 100 50 seaters, then sobeit, especially if it helps the company financially and helps us get our higher pay. So Flyer1015, what do you fly?????

I fly the aforementioned CRJ-200 50 seat jet.

Regarding your statement:

Ironically, THAT was the SAME reason CRJs were scoped out by Delta mainline pilots in the first place circa 1992/1993. Pot, meet kettle.

Oh, the sweet irony in your reasoning!

Congratulations!
You've just been synergized.

Scope out RJs, how did you get to Delta? Weren't you at a regional flying RJs before?

Good for DAL! It's about time!

Then I REALLY don't feel bad about parking the RJs now. RA said more were on the way, and hopefully the new FAA rules about hiring and rest/fatigue will help stifle any future RJ growth, and send more jobs towards the Majors' way. My reasoning is SOUND. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I'm callin BS. My educated guess is you were an ASA pilot first, then Delta.

I, too, hope for more jobs at majors. Like most people at regionals, I'd like to eventually move on. My beef is with those ex-RJ/regional pilots who were exactly where I am, but luckily moved on to a major, and now talk smack/sh** about regionals and what they've done to this industry. Really? You (as in those people) had no qualms about accepting a RJ offer when it came, and it was that RJ's SIC+PIC time that allowed one to get hired at the major. Just because you move on, it don't mean your sh** don't stink no mo'! Never forget where you came from.

Ahh, that explains things. Sorry about the whole getting busted after wearing Depends while driving 800 miles non-stop to confront your boyfriend thing.

Well, that's why you're stuck at ASA! You have no education.
I never worked for ASA and I never flew an rj!

Don't worry juan, your mom still loves you. And I didn't wear your slippers when I was in your trailer.
