FTB,
Dude got left out of the "Compass, what could have been" image?

Honest question.... if these planes did come to Delta are you suggesting they wouldn't come with American pilots? If pilots did come with planes do you see Delta trimming capacity on some of the routes they were flying leading to even more overstaffing and stagnation?

No, I think it would allow consolidation where necessary to maximize yield and expansion in others.
AMR has more pilots over 60 than under 40 (maybe 43)....
It's NOT going to happen anyway, it was more to show that DAL doesn't want to fly single aisle jets across the Atlantic, DAL doesn't have any big jets on order and that AA has a VERY large WB fleet.
Flying cuts across the ocean are reflective of yield, if money could be made be continuing them, they would.

Check,
As to the part in red - maybe, but I think it would be more accurate to say DALPA caved vice being a co-conspirator. But sadly, the more important point is that the majority of Pilots voted yes to allow this to happen. Granted the 76 seater portion was in BK with a gun to our head.

We should scope airframes not seats. Let the company figure out how they want to configure the airframe to maximize revenue. If they want to try an cram 80 seats in a CRJ 50 let them have it. The CRJ 700 should be the largest airframe DCI can operate. The 170/175 should have been a mainline aircraft.
