You keep making things up if it makes you feel better. You might want to reread the TA presentation and Q&A's to get some facts as to when stuff was going away. And if Delta won't pass up a "great deal for used aircraft" why aren't the plan B airplanes here?:rolleyes:

Plan B was never going to happen- at least the way you say now. I read the TA presentations intensely, you know that. The parking/commitment schedule was published in those and proved my point.

Got it...this is a religious discussion with you about your belief system...;)

Delta could ignore ownership or other contractual obligations for CRJ-200's....

B717's were coming anyway....

Plan B was never going to happen....

System capacity isn't something management is concerned about....

That's after "intense" study.:D

Or the Gorgeous A line comes in and asks the Captain, " Captain would you like super sex?"

and the Captain responds, "Ill take the soup.":D:D

What's religious about it? It's logical. The parking schedule for the 200s was widely published. C2012 moved the commitments by about 2 years.

It's obvious the 717s were coming... how can you refuse to see that? Notice how the 50s are now being parked far ahead of the company's requirement to park them?

And how did that happen? Were any contracts awarded for 28 former CMR CRJ 700/900 aircraft, 16 former PCL CRJ-900 and 40 new delivery CRJ-900? In exchange for something....;)

Anyone know what positions were offered to recalls?

yeah.. That always cracks me up. I have heard it multiple times how DL could get out of those contracts easily (remember Freedom, that was quick eh?), all the 717's were coming anyway (not that the contract guaranteed even one would come, "only if") but somehow we had leverage upon leverage so that the company would negotiate a TA 6 months early.

Dont get me wrong, you can not say what would have happened, we didn't get everything I wanted in the TA, but some of the same folks on here who were clamoring to send it back and said "we will get more" are the same ones now telling me the 50 seater issue wasn't leverage.

Just a little paradoxical in my humble opinion. Where was the leverage then 6 months before the amendable date?
