Somebody will have to educate me on how Independence Air applies here?

The reason I used Independence Air as an example is because they violated our scope clause by trying to fly Delta code while also flying larger aircraft than were permitted by our scope clause. (Kinda like Frontier but not with the "different certificate" argument.
) This was a clear violation of our scope clause. Our code was removed from IA and is one of the major reasons they went out of business...
I see the similarity in that, if Delta gets out of balance with the ratio, ALPA could force removal of DL code by management from DCI carriers to get back into compliance.
