I hope you're right and I honestly don't think the AT scope/M&A is so strong as to require pilots to go with replacement planes when their scope/M&A was just found so weak SW threatened to operate them separately and phase them out completely.
So DL gets used planes that are 100% (or more) replaced and pilots have to come with, but SW can shut the whole thing down and not even give the furloughed pilots a staple? I just can't sink my teeth into that logic. Not to mention, even if their wording was so cosmically strong that it really did require the extremely unprecidented sport bidding of pilots going with fleet refresh planes (at full ratio/relative no less! LOL!) if those planes touched Boeing or anywhere else first, how could AT force DL to take pilots anyway even if the AT contract had pretend "shadow" language? Its completely unenforceable. Yeah yeah, another DFR suit. Get in line and do what you gotta do cause we ain't taking pilots from a 10% asset sale that is being 100% replaced with no furloughs. At least I hope we're not.
