ACL, and others:
Wouldn't a bid involving each other's bases right now result in an expensive seniority inversion which would be undone at similar expense during a displacement bid?
I'm still betting there may be an end run made around a Single Operating Certificate. After all, NWA has that sort of training language built in to their version of the JPWA and I can't see how the FAA would have a problem with it. IMHO it would be better to do this under the joint seniority list than have Delta guys run for the "premium" slots now just to be displaced over time.
Also, what about the 787? How does that fit in the mix?
