I think we understand where this is probably going and it is unfortunate for ALPA members at Comair and the carriers Delta has some control over through bankruptcy.
Or, potentially nothing much happens. Under the PWA, "nothing" is an option. Perhaps it is the most viable option.
Delta doesn't have the extra 76 seaters yet. If one airline like SKW balks by an extra 25 50 seaters over the cap, then maybe that will result in 25 fewer additional 76 seaters. So instead of 70 new ones, it could become 45.
