SKYW is free to go IndyAir anytime they want to. But as long as they want to do DL (or UAL, etc) flying, they are subject to those agreements and WRT DL, DALPA owns the code and controls what they can do. They do not have, nor will we grant, them permission to go above our current seat and weight limits. Not allowed. Period.
