This does not need to become a SKW vs. ASA thread! If ASA gets CR9's then those in more important positions made the decision, not us peons. ASA deserves them just as much as anyone else and a MEM base would do their pilot moral wonders. But, I do think DAL's 76 seat/85K MTW scope clause is almost spent. That is unless DAL gets additional airframes for mainline pilots (I think it's a 4:1 ratio).

Don't believe rumors until the a/c are on property.
