Quick, delploy the RJs. What? They're all at LGA?
That's OK. DALPA will acquiesce to a side letter granting scope relief so the company can "fill the vacuum" in DFW with "Delta-branded flying." It's in our best interest, naturally. Please call your congressman to help get approval.
Luckily DALPA, ever on the ball, will obtain a very sincere verbal pledge from management to "give serious thought to considering the possibility of transitioning to a few mainline flights at some point in the distant future."
