The writer was probably thinking of Delta Express which was flown by Delta pilots with different pay and work rules. The concept was well received initially, but eventually, negotiating capital was used to eliminate it. Definitely a "win, win" for the company.
The context is not apparent from my quote but he was referring to Song as being a LCC run by mainline pilots under mainline pay and work rules and says that American is looking at a different approach i.e. the B scale.
I hadn't heard about Delta Express before. When did that happen?
