I was hires 30 plus years ago before any of the airlines had any real scope. United had far more widebodies back then also. They have always had more. The unmentioned part was that through most of my career Delta had far more midsized aircraft (757/767) so it evened out over a career.

I completely 100% agree with this, when the flow went away, the LOA IMHO became null. Any future LOA or a re-visit to LOA 9 will need DALPA approval. LOA 2010-02 at CPZ had to be signed off by DL, DALPA, CPZ, and CPZ ALPA. Wouldn't any flow down provisions for a new flow down agreement need DALPA sign off. Seems to me that DALPA would hold all the cards to stop from making this happen. Like you said, I think DL just F'ed themselves on some back end RJ Section 1 scope.

According to the 10-K the contract for 4 A350s was terminated and 18 B777 and 56 767-300ERs were retired so the WB fleet is severely shrinking. Especially the highest paid positions.
Delta will operate what management decides to operate, not pilots.

All I can say is that I had a senior flight ops VP on my jumpseat once a few years ago, and he told me that because of the attitudes displayed some from the last flow thru, if he had any say in the matter there would never be another. Take that for what it's worth. Now I freely admit that person is no longer here, but I am sure his feelings were not solitary. It won't affect me one way or another, but I would personally be against it.
If they really do want it, then it has value. What is it worth? I'd trade a little bottom end for a lot of top end.
