This is under the current contract. If Delta management goes ahead with the 717s without this TA, Delta will reach the threshold by the end of 2015. The TA limits 76 seaters to 223. 32 less than can be had above. In the above senario with the current contract, I can see Delta management doing a pump and dump.
I'm not saying I like it but I don't like what could happen under our current contract either......
Good Luck with yours...

This is misleading. Yes they could grow the 76 seaters under our contract if mainline hits the threshold. However, they could not reach 255 76 seaters without dumping every single 70 seater. They are at the limit on both. To increase 1 76 seater they would have to dump 1 70 seater.
