Delta urges capacity restraint...

Maybe because they would like the others to stay flat or shrink in Ual's case, thus fulling the void that will occur with that shrinkage. Look, Ual has a dysfunctional mgmt that still wants to fight the labor groups. It was not enough for them during the 3 years of bankruptcy to loot and plunder the employees. You would think with the raping they gave y'all that they would be growing like crazy. Not so. That tells me they don't have a longterm goal other than merge or purge, either way they win.

and they still have the route structure....and with the right leadership team they will prevail.

Why would DAL advise to not expand...and advise other airlines?.....

That's called competition junior! Last I checked, it's still legal unless your little flying club runs to the government about anti-trust concerns...

Wow guess you are missing the point of this and every other post about dl saying this. Grandpa

Legacy pilots - each of you has lowered the bar successively - selling out domestic flying for your very short sighted- short term gain.

What if you had to interview and (cross fingers) hope and pray to get on with "mainline" in order to go from the 757 to a wide body? Bc that's exactly the world you created for narrow body domestic.

Rj drivers do the same exact job you do- but w/ no leverage to raise their wages for long. But Virgin is a real step up for any rj driver- which puts competitive pressure on your own wages.

So thump your chests all you want back and forth with each other- you're all sellouts bringing the industry down-

Agreed that mainline is to blame. Just remember that undermining your other Regional lift competition with crappy contracts does the same thing. It is all a vicious cycle.
