A friend from NW tells me they also required a new release if you returned to the gate. It's pretty standard at every airline and yes the FAA does require a 121 flight be released by dispatch. Again you have the reference at Delta.
Incorrecto. At NWA, you only required a re-release if you returned to the departure airport after becoming airborne. That was as of 2008, so just pre-SOC.
There is an exception to the DAL return to gate requirement. I would suggest a more thorough reading of the ENTIRE section.
