"...the MEC is committed to achieving significant improvements throughout our scope language....We do not support any larger aircraft at DCI, jet, turbofan, or turboprop."

I'm trying not to be suspicious, but this looks like awfully careful wording. I think they are saying they will not attempt to recapture DCI scope, but will try to prevent it from getting worse. Why didn't they say "we do not support any MORE aircraft at DCI" or even better, "We strongly support an effort to decrease the amount of Delta flying done by DCI?"

"Well, I understand your concern, loud and clear. And my answer is this: I had a steak for lunch today."
