Is DPJ's still operating any jets that exceed a MGTOW of 65,000 lbs?
You want Delta to make a profit right? Let's say DPJ gets rid of their big iron because you won that grievance, now those customers that have all the money get mad because they want to fly on a Gulfstream and not a Lear so they go to Netjets. That's a revenue stream Delta lost all because you just had to stick it to someone and file a grievance. I would understand if it was one of the regionals violating this part of your scope, but the smart thing to do would be to allow DPJ to fly the corporate big iron because it keeps Delta paying passengers happy to be able to fly on whatever they want and because they are paying big money to Delta in the process.
