Whether that means an MEL to remove 6 seats from service or physical removal hasn’t been tested, and the UNA designation on the most recent displacement bid, and the number associated with furlough warning notices, both stop short of crossing that threshold. It appears, currently, that Delta could run 100% of its authorized DCI aircraft (subtracting the former Compass birds) without worrying how many mainline aircraft are parked.
