Delta PWA 2000 - Passenger DCI weight limits added, ratios, hub, block hours and more tied to resets no downside protection
LOA 46 Pre 1113 - Still no limits on 50 but adds up to 150 70 with mainline growth nothing tied to mainline shrinkage
LOA 51 1113 - unlimited 50 200 70 and 30 76 based on C2K metrics (Delta's court plan)
LOA - 19 DL + NWA = 255 70/76 unlimited 50 and all the props in the world

What's even more disturbing is the lack of long term strategy, trading scope for pay. Pay (even small bumps) trumped plugging the early leaks later breaking the dam allowing nearly half of all domestic flying to be outsourced.
Remarkably the lack of long term strategy continues today with this proposal allowing more large RJ's at a time when we have an opportunity to let RJ's die with the help of high oil prices.
