I HOPE that "protect ourselves in the future" means changing the definition of air carrier to say holdings companies are automatically single transportation systems and therein overnight RAH would be in violation of our contract. Overnight AMR/AE might also be found to be STS, maybe not as they're not as intertwined as RAH.
Skywest/ASA/Coex would definitely be STS. And therein help SKW realize that if you pull an RAH we'll redlight you from this DCI gravy train so fast you won't even know you hit a trestle.
What about just saying something simple in Section 1 like:
All Delta passengers will be flown by Delta Pilots.
Of course would have to nail down what a Delta passenger is and what a Delta pilot is and we would probably also have to nail down the meaning of what the word IS is.
