What is good for Delta is good for them, maybe.

I fly the 175 at Compass and I jumpseated on a DC-9 a few months ago. I took a look at the pairing that crew was flying and a few weeks later I flew that exact pairing in the 175. The bottom line is, the closer CPZ is to the DAL MEC the more control the pilots of Delta have control over CPZ flying. They just gave it up.
