I think (?) reverts to 85 could mean taking 6 seats out of overage aircraft and converting to 70 seaters. I'd prefer to see them parked
Heyas F4H,
My guess is that they'll pull the seats out to fit under the 255 cap, rather than pull the lift entirely.
Throw in another row or two of first class, and call it done. It'd probably be almost revenue neutral at that point. Add in the more restrictive ASA where they can pull the plug for the new carriers for picking their noses, and then throw the DAL pilot group a bone by saying "we live by our agreements" with an LOA to permit the heavier aircraft, and they'll call it a "win" for both sides.
They will NOT park those jets. That I can almost guarantee you.
