Do you think they might sue, tough?
Please. So what, no more labor buster ACMI whipsaw providers will sign deals with DL? Cry me a river.
Their contracts have to have a cancellation clause. And DL has been sued by DCI more than once (Mesa and SkyWest at the very least) and DL remains deeply in love with SkyWest and every time they pick up the phone with DL on the other end they are ready to copy outsourcing instructions.
I'm really not worried about our street cred with labor busting fake airline ACMI whipsaw providers. We sign contracts with cancellation clauses. We will abide by those clauses. Nothing more is owed beyond that.
