This is 100% correct, it is a no go because DALPA and National would be sued by regional pilots looking for a windfall. The ONLY way it could work is if the Delta pilots sued the regional pilots, and forced a legal settlement in court of a staple job for the regional pilots. This can not happen as long as both regional and mainlines are represented by ALPA. One of those groups has to leave the association for the profession to be restored.
It only takes one regional pilot, ONE, to kill the entire deal.
