Ok guys, here's a thought


There are reports that DL is talking to the DL pilots to amend the contract to work on "scope" to make the merged airline more flexible.

DL has also said that "none of its pilots will be furloughed".

Now...could the scope thing be something that'll bring 70/90/170/175s to the mainline side of things? (I.E.reduce scope clause to <70 seats?)

that would certainly prevent (almost inevitable) furloughs on the mainline side of things..since i can't see how they're going to cut all redundant domestic routes AND double their pilot group without making personnel changes.
