I think it may take more than that. I think majors joining up with regionals and having enhanced flow-throughs is what we'll. Not the flows that were tried before, but something much along the lines of Continental Express and Continental back in the 80's. Especially with majors, like UAL, looking hard at the E190/195 for the new small narrow body at mainline the lines get blurred further since it is the same type rating as the 170/175 that is being outsourced now. Start a direct placement from an outsourced 170/175 to a mainline 190/195.

What exactly does a Delta rate reset in 2016 mean?

I thought that was pretty ridiculous as well. No regional pilots are getting "Snapped" up. What a crock!

So The carrier doesn't matter (delta, UAL, Alaska, etc. ) as long as it's a skywest flight correct?? I will be making the commute from COS to training and there are direct delta flights. Would like to do that but i couldn't during interview cause there were no UAL flights out of COS.

They're only going to deadhead you on UA flights. To go to training out of COS they'll likely send you COS-DEN-SLC on UAL. Once you get into CASS about two weeks into training you'll be able to take Delta back home direct.

Or just drive to DEN instead of trying to fly it...

CASS entry took 3 full weeks for our ground school class. I was able to jumpseat home on the last weekend before our systems exam.

How long does it take spouses to get in the system? If my wife wants to catch a flight two weeks into my training should I expect her to have the benefits in swing or would I be better off buying her a ticket now?

Each partner has different time frames for eligibility. AA is 6 month. I think 90-180days is about right for most partners.
