There are a lot of intangibles that would br good if DAL took that flying in house. If RA announced tomorrow that they'd placed an order for 76-100 seaters, and would insource all that flying over a 5 year period, he would own the pilot group...especially the junior half, and would probably roll into section 6 with a lot of goodwill.
