They're still in the process of spending a bunch of money to fix up the pieces of sh1t we got from XJT, our flights are actually mostly on time depending on the amount of interaction they may have with NYC, and not a whole lot is usually broken. Increased hourly rates, standby pass priority improvements, etc. Now could things get better, of course, but if they were getting ready to get rid of us in the near future do you really they'd still be spending all the money time and effort they've been putting into EDV. And even if they did sell us, and our "industry leading pay" went away what do you think would happen when everyone from the middle of the seniority list with 1000 hours and about 25-30ish years old with a couple years at the company went somewhere else that's also hurting for captains and at least offers a flow with the comparative low pay.
But yeah maybe we'll be sold to Spirit and operate the CSeries or E2s they're gonna order for $30/h, and DL is just going to forget all their CRJ-900/700 flying they do or bring XJT back because they do so well with their constantly broken airplanes
