There is a "need" to wrap this up if we are going to take advantage of some opportunities that are out there. IF the Delta TA passes, the 50s don't leave till the end of 2015. With attrition, and replacement 900s, I don't see any furloughs.
Yes there are many that think it is prudent to wrap this up...but it isn't because of pending furloughs.....
What makes you think no 50's would leave until the end of 2015? Because that's when the contract is up? What happens when Delta says "you either agree to start getting rid of 2 50's for every new 70/76 seat jet we give you right now, or after 2015 your contract will not be renewed and you won't be doing business with us again, ever."?
Now if there is something to that effect in the Delta TA, that's another story and I hope that's the case, but I'm just saying...
