My theory on that is Compass is being boxed up for sale. If Delta does not want the E170 platform, what's the point of owning the cow when you can get the milk and put the cow's capital cost on another company's books?

Well, the metaphor attempt failed, but you get the idea. Again, only my theory - that it is harder to sell pilots that you "own" via a seniority list, or shared MEC.
