Fwiw, I don't think DALPA would ever say yes. Just curious if they would try to outsource it at all?
I don't think they would. The cost advantage would simply not be great enough for the loss of control and customer service. Had they really wanted it they would have rammed it through the bankruptcy court. I have heard them time after time say they can operate a 150 seat jet for almost the same cost as a 100 seat jet so why buy the smaller aircraft.
You might see it in their opener but if they do I suspect it would be as a throwaway item they can toss out later.
