See, even the MD demands super premium wide body pay as she does the same work.
I think this is what you are referencing...
While we don't "own" the aircraft, a sale of the leases directly to Delta would be enough to trigger our Section 1 Scope language; that's already been discussed. Doesn't matter if the 717 leases are paid for by cash or by other assets, including delivery slots that are owned by Delta.

btw, what thread is this from Capn?
I would not waste more then about 2 minutes wondering if the Airtran pilots would come with the aircraft. Delta management would not even consider the deal if that were the case. There are to many other much simpler options such as all the A319's sitting around. Aircraft can always be found. Management is trying to position the airline to be ready for the final round of consolidation. The last thing they would want to deal with is a semi merger and all that entails at the same time.
And I bet a "sublease" is a nonstarter.
So once a company signs leases for particular planes, pilots are immortally attatched to those serial numbers until the full and complete exhaustion of said leases? I doubt it. Wishful thinking from someone that wants to sport bid across airlines for no good reason.
In the extremely, extremely unlikely event even a few pilots come with the planes, and there is no way a single one should, 99 year fences at a minimum is mandatory. Not to mention if that guy thinks 88 out of 700 planes over what would very likely be several years would trigger the fragmentation in this or even a previous contract, he's huffing some serious modeling glue.
So the AT scope was so weak that SWA could have operated the entire airline separtely and phased every one of them out pretty quickly, but the AT scope is so strong that their pilots own the seats to specific planes even if those planes are replaced completely with other planes?

How many 737s is SWA getting again? I think it counted in the hundreds, right?
Also, as 717s exit FL wouldn't those pilots go to LUV to be integrated/indoc into SWA? Such that they're never without an airplane before they're SWA pilots? It's not like 88 airplanes disappear and pilots are suddenly without work.

United just posted a $448M loss for 2012Q1.
United Continental's Loss Widens - WSJ.com
$134M was due to integration-related costs. Revenue was $8.6B.

I'm not a West Coast commuter, but I'm on board with anything that gets me based west of NYC. That's not too much to ask is it?
