Hint..it's after they deliver planes to mainline. SWA has already published the delivery schedule. With that schedule they can't access the last of the 76 seaters until the end of 2015....
I know Delta can only get chunks of 900s after they get similar chunks of a narrowbody-like airframe. I just hope it's as airtight as it should be.
Who counts the numbers? Who verifies the numbers? And do they need to sign an NDA?
In 2007 Delta and Comair/ALPA signed a fleet guarantee that said only 10% of our 50s could be parked early. However, I couldn't find anybody at ALPA who had the lease return dates keyed to tail number - "The Plan".
How do you enforce a fleet guarantee when nobody on your side has seen "The Plan"? Comair could send 8 50s to other DCI carriers in a month and all management needed to say is:
STFD, it's "The Plan"
I just hope your airtight ALPA contract with Delta is better than my airtight ALPA contract with Delta.
