The language is in 1.B.43 that delineates what a SNB is.
The definition of "airman" is in 2.A.15
The definition of "pilot" is in 2.A.198
The scope that covers what flying a "pilot" does is in 1.C
The merger language is in 1.D.8
What is considered the Delta "Fleet" is in 1.B.28 and 2.A.10
the way it was described to me by the NC was that it had to be "new small narrowbody aircraft" in the Delta "fleet", not the purchase of an "air carrier" that "operates other than permitted aircraft types" that happen to be "new small narrowbody aircraft".
Therefore aircraft gained via merger would not fit the description and allow more 76's.
clear as mud?
Actually, it is and thanks for the correction. I was looking at the language as a stand alone, not in reference to what our fleet is or isnt, and those 717 would be SNB's that are "new" to us.
It being clear as mud is my concern. Probably not an issue, but one would never know.
