The biggest problem with the section 1 ratios and draw down compliance is that a regional can simply say no. I posted about this earlier. Now Skywest or the offending carrier is operating as an alter-ego carrier of Delta. The main problem you have with this, is that if DALPA files a grievance over this, the remedy to comply with mainline section one will require a scope relax, or a regional SLI between Skywest(or the offending carrier) and Delta mainline. This was the ultimate result of the Colgan/Pinnacle grievance when Colgan was operating as an alter ego of Pinnacle. You either allow them to operate the scope violation or merge the seniority lists, there is no longer the cease and desist option.
