I see Bedford moving the aircraft in order to protect some of his product.
Delta would go after the holding company (RAH) and not just the shuttle certificate. Depending on how negotiations went this week Delta may just buy the 175s and let another regional staff them. This is probably BBs plan of negotiations continue being stalked. Most of the junior FOs would gladly leave RAH for a quick upgrade and better contract.
