Let's not forget what they are doing to their regional contractors. They already put 500 Comair guys on the street and are about to put 2500 Pinnacle pilots on the street. Yep, everything is coming together...

I don't think anyone disagrees that that DL is by far the best performing and operating airline right now. Ohh wait it's Flightinfo yeah someone will disagree.

Sad for those guys but mainline taking back flying is a good thing for the future if all professional pilots.

This is unfortunate. But it's also business.

It will all be complete once the Alaska boyz are stapled.

How on earth is DAL reassigning the flying to the cheapest outsourced bidder good for the career as a whole? Do you really think they are taking the flying back? All I see is them reducing the overall hourly cost of a CR9 from $150/H for the entire crew, down to $120/H. How can that be good for the profession?

This latest contract shifted a large amount of formerly-regional flying back to mainline.

It's a business, not a welfare system. The reality is regional airlines are outsource providers. Interchangeable at the next contract, sometimes before.

Delta has a good management team right now. They are making pro-active decisions, and it seems the rest of the industry is reacting.

And not good for all the other professionals that worked/work at those airlines. But as usual pilots only care about pilots.
