They can shut them down and incur billions in contract penalties or merger them in and let the pilots battle over seniority They can do what they want with wholly owned companies.. I think you know which one they would choosesee below......
DAL is making it pretty clear what their plans are with RJ's. They are chopping 60-70 RJ's initially. It appears that DAL wants to get rid of the smaller "RJ's" in place of bigger planes. We shall see. I think you know that a SLI between any regional and the new DAL will NEVER happen so there is no point in arguing it. If you dont want to be brought over to mainline then fine it probably wont happen anyway.. Its funny though most of the Compass guys are smart enough to see the benefits of it. They are represented by the NWALPA though so its a different deal for them.
