It's up to management on how they want to add the flying back to mainline. Management would likely merge with its regional affiliates.

Wrong again. If that is in our contract, a judge will ensure it is complied with.

The contract would be a JCBA between Delta pilots and its regional affiliates if management so chooses.

Wrong again. A judge will make it painful for management if they don't comply. Just llike all sections of a signed contract. Unless management wants to declare Chapter 11 again.

They don't need to file chapter 11 to merge with another company.

It's also possible for RJ pilots to be put in the Space Shuttle program. I wouldn't count on it however.

The same can be said for mainline pilots.

I know that's how you see it. It would benefit people like you the most. People without the qualifications or background to be hired by a major - now you get a back door entrance without interviewing or competing. I understand why you want it. It just won't happen.
