They would have gotten rid of the airplanes one way or another. You are all very heavily vested in this game of claiming that what Delta asked for was a win. Tell me, how many 50 seaters do we have active compared to our scope limit? If you are correct, then we will be at the limit for 50 seat flying.
I am just a line Pilot reporting the line Pilot perspective. I and 1300 other DAL Pilots where furloughed when our Scope policies sucked. Since 2012 we have been parking RJs and hiring thousands more than UAL, AMR, SWA, and probably every other airline.
I thought scope was to protect jobs - seems like we are improving.
OBTW - I am not “heavily invested” in anything, have zero affiliation with DALPA, have been and will continually be critical of DALPA and think ALPA National is a worthless bloated bureaucracy and would vote in an in house union in a heartbeat.

No, I'm talking about the Bridge Agreement. 9E went behind the back of the DAL MEC, didn't even give them a heads up.

Just curious, so should a delta retiree's spouse (employee was... let's say a reservation agent) going on vacation have priority over an active 9E pilot going on vacation?

Agreed. If you're going to degrade the "promised" life time benefit offered to previous employees, it better be for a good reason (get 9E pilot to work to protect mainline schedule) and not a bad one (IT can't or won't program 9E dependent going on vacation differently).

Think of the disparity between the network Delta offers it's regional affiliates and the network they offer the Delta employee(for both nor rev and JS) Massive gain for the regional guy/gal. That's quite a windfall for them without getting the "super seniority", imo

It would have to be on the honor system for 9E crew members to select they are working. That would subject 9E crew members to discipline if they selected the wrong choice, which I'm sure ALPA would not allow.

"Getting 9E pilot to work" Ahh, he can still get to work, he just has to be more careful. We all got to work back in the day without JS. S3A isn't a critical item for these guys.
