it would probably be beneficial to get to the acceptance stage that ATL is a dying base. The line between line holders and reserves on the 700 is spring 2008 hires. For those of us on the losing end of seniority we need to think beyond ATL.

What's happening in ATL? I thought ExpressJet (ASA) had to have 80% of daily DCI departures.

do. Not so with the pilots. I don't blame Skywest pilots for the whipsaw the majors orchestrate against the regionals. But I do partially blame them for the whipsaw our CEO is paid to administer on his own employees because the Skywest pilots are able to stop that if they really wanted. They cannot stop the whipsawing in the whole regional industry but hey can within our corporation. And that would move the needle in the right direction in the fight against whipsaw in our segment of this industry. If they are not willing to "pay the price" to stop the whipsaw from our own CEO, then they are NOT for stopping the whipsaw. And that was my main point to Skywest pilots. If they are for it, them they should be for one list. Anything else is just lip service.

Yes, we compete against all those regionals. And if Skywest Inc wins any flying, our CEO whipsaws Skywest pilots against us. So I fault the CEO more than the pilots but then again, that's what he is paid to

This is why i'm not for a joint contract right now let ATL thin down. It seem to be Deltas plan anyway. Sorry ASA brothers but its business and in business its not persona. But everyone takes it that way, so that right there is why we will never get ahead in this industry.

ATL is the incredible shrinking base. It's ironic that the changes can be seen just by looking out the window in the crew lounge. What used to be C gates filled with our 200/700/900s are now occupied by MD88s,737s, and A320s. Once the 717 arrives that'll be like the Grim Reaper showing up for the XJT ATL Base.

What is the cap on DCI once the 50s are gone? 450 large RJs among the DCIs right?
