AirTran pilots can't fly Delta airplanes. AirTran operated aircraft owned by Delta aren't counted as part of the Delta fleet for scope compliance purposes.
What was told to me (first hand) was that the LCA was sent to do a flight on a 717 that DAL was about to purchase. The flight was performed by 2 ATI pilots and after the flight a check was handed over. The reason for the hurried nature was to keep DAL within scope compliance.
I'm trying to get the details, maybe I misunderstood what really transpired.
