Actually, this is false, you are not an employee of Delta. Your company, delta mainline is a wholly owned subsidy of Delta, the holding company. The union has the legal right to monopolize all of the flying at its respective company. In other words, if it was your flying, legally ALPA can take back the scope without section 6 negotiations. When mainline gives away scope, they are not giving their owned flying away, they are simply removing the part of their contract that they have with delta holdings to operate those aircraft,; their contractual flying. We, as in the regionals, have an agreement with the holding company to operate the aircraft as do you as well. Your company "mainline" is subcontracted to sell the tickets, pay for fuel, etc. This is why this career is in the garbage can, management is exploiting all aspects of the law to circumnavigate the union.

The question was, should comair have priority over other pilots families at mainline, No. Comair only has contractual rights to their respective company aircraft.
