Exactly. Even if we are going to allow the abomination of RAH to keep flying DL pax, why in the world was their entire holding company given a blank check to do anything in the future in addition to what they are doing now? That is insane. As soon as the TA was released, that prick says he envisions flying his C Series jets at SkyTeam? That alone makes it mandatory to send this TA back and clean that up even if you are in favor of everything else in it.
