I don't think anybody at mainline Delta wants that so they can add more RJ's, the point is to bring that large of an RJ to the mainline property so any further additions are with mainline pilots. This is not a Delta corporate thing, this is a pilot movement started by members of DALPA. As for Comair, the addition of the 50 seat jet is not of interest to most of the mainline guys, most of us are concerned with the outsourcing of DC9 flying with large RJ's.
