Why give that up? Would we let DCI operate 99K lbs aircraft? If DL wants those at DPJ, we need to fly them. If attrition in the category and/or being able to hire who they want for those "ultra VIP/HVC" customers was the concern, we could address that with a longer training freeze for those who bid it as well as giving the company a choice in which seniority list pilots they choose to do it. But to give it up entirely, to a non union pilot group is insane. Those are our jets. We own that flying. We can be flexibile and work with the company on those, but giving it up is out of the question.
