True. However there is a prettybig carrot now with the 35 large RJ's that are permanently pulled. Maybe a carrier would agree to that, maybe not. They could be whipsawed with not only the 35 but a lot more dangled out there to whoever may take it. It could also simply be imposed on a non union carrier by uts management, however it would more likely be brought to them for a non binding vote first (deal me an ace 2.0) but most likely, if DL really wants those jets in the future (they're parked at the moment anyway, along with a lot more than that as we all know) then a NEWCO 2.0 could easily be started. Lots of dormant certificates floating around, and new ones aren't that hard to spool up either. Yet another option would be to simply put them on the mainline.
