DL management even agreed not to use one of the 35 until after the arbitrator rules, and you can bet they won't flow a single body unless and until they prevail.
The irony of the whole thing is that the 35 RJ's probably wouldn't even go to Endeavor, certainly not all of them. But their MEC was given a take it or leave it offer. They really had no choice in the matter. And it probably will hurt 9E morale, especially for those lifers who had a brief glimmer of hope. Which again shows how cold a maneuver it is (was).
Actually, the first 250 pilots were given flow notices. Those notices cannot be revoked, even if the flow is nullified. The first 20 pilots are expected to begin class in August.
