I have thought that too. One other possibility is less ER's that need augmentation and more 330's. Both jive.

I'd say about 100%. (They're out now for most captains.. especially big guys like you)

JFK-MSY in an RJ.. the hits just keep on coming. But on the good news side, emirates just bought 50.. yes... FIFTY... 777-300s.

Technically, the new ad compaign is "Keep Delta Shrinking My Delta". Lanyards and bag stickers available soon.

Anyway one difference between us and Comair though.

Scope is the big difference. Another difference is if you walk through the Delta crew room, you won't find 300 pilots eager to take the bottom number on Comair's seniority list.
And so on...

We should give no relief in this or any upcoming CBA to allow blatant disregard for safety. 10 hour bock time 2 pilot ETOPS is unsafe, especially with over 60's in one seat.

No relief for that and no relief for our lack of hiring if we indeed put it off until its too late. No scope relief and no PRP's. Ever again. No matter what.

I can't wait for them to saturate themselves right out of the market.

According to My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night:

Suit A: Hey Ed, did you hear Emirates just ordered fifty more 777's?
Suit B: Yeah, that takes them to 182 ?
Suit A: No, that would be 183
Suit B: ha, well I was never any good at math
Suit A: We need to code share with them
Suit B: Now that's something we can agree on, pass the grape juice
