If DL buys another airline with RJ feed, there is a 110% chance DALPA will settle for a higher limit at the very least prorated to the combined totals, unless another deal is reached to park 50's in exchange for even more 90's, which will be called the same victory this TA is being called WRT that.
It will be sold because of the "equity stake" and more small raises and maybe a few things here or there (back down to 6 sort calls?) followed by the promise to "get what we can now and "get em next time". We have got to start learning from history.
Fine. IF you want to base your vote on total conjecture (another merger that comes with RJ feed etc etc etc..) then by all means do so.
Let me suggest a movie that might help all with the seemingly endless inundation of paranoia. War Games. The only move is not to play. And with that in mind, vote no, and let's watch what happens. The sad thing is that most of you that are espousing that action FOR the reasons that you are advocating them will disappear from these boards... Vote whatever way you want, but I implore you to do so based on the facts and not the preconceived notions that I am reading here.
