I can't tell you how it came about but I'm sure it's not random. But let's say it was, we aren't changing it to allow a more capable aircraft to be flown by outsourced labor. Delta wants it that is fine but they can fly it at mainline. That can't work then I guess they won't get it.
Btw, I edited my previous post and added some info.
