Ohhh no, no, no...
Ad Lib you subscribe to the typical faulty premise of RJDC spinmiesters. ASA and CMR flew - DELTA - code, under strict conditions set forth in the Delta Pilots PWA. CMR code did not "become" Delta code just because of wholly owned subsidiary status.
You are not a Delta pilot just because you fly Delta code under subsidiary contract. Wholly owned or not. I've heard this all before, 10 years ago from Dan Ford and others. He had this fantasy that CMR was really Delta now because of "operational integration", "wholly owned", "flying Delta code", blah, blah, blah. He felt this obligated ALPA to merge seniority lists, and yes, they wanted a DOH list. RJDC and fruitless lawsuits followed. Haberman and the lawyers got rich and Comair still is what it is today.
It was all very tiring and pointless then, and I'm getting weary just thinking about it now. Sorry I even turned this smarmy rock over again.
