No f'ing way! It will be by our skyteam partners China Southern, Eastern and future member Xiamen airlines. Flying those will be deemed "not our core business" by management and " a solid base hit by alpa" by capturing 3% raises(offset by a reduction in profit sharing of course) for 4 years and a no furlough clause. By allowing this, it helps Delta avoid the massive training that would otherwise be required with 500-800 retirements per year. Not having to worry about the 100 seat and below for domestic or the new generation ultra long haul flying will allow Delta to be wildly profitable and execute their plan years earlier than without the " cooperation of the 6000 alpa represented professional pilots who understand the time value of money". That is what I call bi-winning.
