This will, I believe, put a hold on contract negotiations.
I have doubts that Ornstein will be able to find a home for the ERJ's as profitable as the DLX flying has been. Freedom is one of the biggest money makers for Ornstein, and this blow will certainly put MAG in a precarious situation if he can't place those planes.
Good luck MAG pilots. As much as I dislike your company, it would be devastating to see any jobs lost due to the likes of Ornstein.
Nobody is going to be placing any 50 seaters with anyone other than the budweiser factory...ever (unless it's in the third world).
The majors can't wait to get rid of the 50's they currently have...that's why DAL picked this moment in time to play the performance card with mesa.
