Another angle in scope recapture is the possibility that management, instead of parking the 76 seat jets, decides to fly them at mainline. They would have to buy out those contracts at DCI and get the pilots that come with the jets. DALPA in that situation would be faced with a possible regional/mainline SLI; A complete disaster much worse than a DFR.
