they have already selected your replacement. they have already agreed to a contract with those who will take over for you. no matter what you do, the reduction in aircraft will happen, you might be able to delay, but that will help dal out while giving there new feeders time to get setup. that is my interpetation of that simple statement.
Bingo, the best thing we could do at this point is shutdown overnight and give Delta a couple months of oh crap scramble trying to implement their plan ahead of schedule.
