With that, over 400 folks will be furloughed from RHS since mainline lost all those international departures and Delta wants thier folks to do it.
Moving the 700 and 900's to another carrier will take time, since the leases are paid by us and not Delta. It takes time to get approval from the leasor to transfer the leases to the other carrier. We actually had a problem with transfering one of the -200's to Pinnacle. The leasor actually declined the transfer, so we got to keep the aircraft!
