I've been part of this thread for a while now. The only person I've seen mention Comair is APMech. What did I miss?

So in a discussion about being based in Atlanta, one person was showing how to bid, all the 200 positions first, so that eventually you could end up in Atlanta because there are no 900s there. So how would that work if you were in that class and wanted to be based in Atlanta sooner than later? You just switch from the 900 to the 200?

Also, there is talk that the new contract that is being negotiated currently will incur a 1 year seat lock from date of hire.

Regionals will be around for quite some time, we are being shifted into an ab-intio training ground. Delta has spent the last 12 months in Congress working on getting this through. Once the FAA approves it, Delta will go straight to the top colleges to find its future pilots.

I look at any 200 growth as negative. Those planes will be parked and then 9E is left with a crap sandwich. Displacements, layoffs etc. I sure hope we get something else in the pipeline. It might be good for the youngsters who think they'll be here for less than 5 years.l, but why in the hell would Delta go recruit ? There is about 15k qualified pilots out there? Shutdown the regionals and bam! Instant Surplus. C series and 717 is pretty much a parallel with the regional market. In my opinion that's how they are preparing.
