ftb,
It would be my guess that you are safe. Didn't they basically say they prefer M88 pilots eventually be the ones that bid the 717 because of a short course and therefore less training. I bet your position will be where they pool pilots until they post the AE for the 717's.
And now that I've said that, you can be certain that that will not happen.

Looks like DTW ALPA guys are in a panic that somebody outside their circle might win. Wouldn’t that be nice.

Ready for some bad news?
The amount of deadly, life-stealing carbon dioxide put out the tailpipe can be calculated from the amount of fuel you're burning.
From my recollection:
Jet-A (Hydrocarbons, Cs and Hs) + Oxygen ---> Water + Carbon Dioxide
Jet-A has different chemical compositions depending on the refining process, but for the most part you're looking at one part Carbon to two parts Hydrogen (plus some other stuff we don't want the EPA to know about... ssshhhhh...) But since one Carbon weighs as much as 6 Hydrogens, on a per-ton basis, 2,000 lbs of Jet-A will contain (roughly) 1500 lbs of Carbon and 500 lbs of Hydrogen.
Bad news is, one Carbon will hook up with two Oxygens, which means that 1500 lbs of Carbon will generate 5500 lbs of Carbon Dioxide.
Or in other words, at $20 per (metric) ton of CO2, Delta will be paying a Carbon Tax of $50 per (metric) ton of Jet-A, or 17 cents per gallon.
Bar can tell you how much that will cost Delta in a year.

Bottom line, the Carbon Tax will be a lot more than a slap on the wrist for the airlines. I'm guessing it would wipe out any gains made from the Trainer purchase, and then some?
From a CRJ900 standpoint, this will add roughly 92 bucks per operating hour.

I musta spent a week doing all that math and not one remark?
