Here's a question dovetailing on someone's post a few weeks ago. Would you bring the EMB-195 to mainline if, and only if, you allow the 325 jumbo RJ limit to increase and more 50 seaters to be parked?
Say 375 jumbo RJs for mainline E-195s?

As "tone free" as I can make it. DAL MEC Website. Library. Page 2. Scope Compliance Analysis May 2015. The Numbers. Plain English. Provided by DALPA. I read the provided analysis. DALPA waited till the end of the cure period and filed. I'm often on your side or at least understand it, but in this instance..? I responded to a post with 2 primary observations. 1) I think it would cost a lot of money to unwind the large RJ operations. Either to buy them out of the various contracts or to in house them. I think I'm right. 2) I'm concerned about our Intl JV operations. Esp that we have to grieve an issue after a 3 year "cure." I would change my handle to Notone, but I'm so Fly. What to do? OFG
Contrary to what seems popular opinion, I have no stance on many of the lightning rod issues. I am just catching so much flak because I am not toeing the radical emotional line, and I get that, but I am not going to throw down and get all dramatic and say "if XXX then I am voting no". Wouldn't be prudent.
Back to the gnash cluster.

Forcing 76 seaters to sunset...? when they are just getting them? Definitely wouldn't be cheap. How would that even happen unless DAL bought the 76 seat operators? No need to even discuss 50 seat as I'm pretty sure they are self destructing. Mgmt may want more 76 seat flexibility to help the RJ operators as the 50s go away, but that is too bad. Not my problem. Is the AS agreement out of compliance? I'm not an expert. I may not like it but how is it "abuse?" SEA is now a hub for us. Its also AS largest hub and corporate headquarters. Its certainly seems convoluted trying to limit each others operations in any agreement. AF/KLM I agree it needs fixing. But I also doubt the non compliance has cost us the bazillion jobs some think. Nevertheless, I expect a penalty and better future enforcement. I absolutely disagree with any notion we can function in this world solo. But I don't like that our JV partners always seem to need lots of big metal. And IMO DAL seems content to resell tickets. Eventually if we don't have the metal aren't we marginalized or expendable to the JV? Which puts us... solo. Hmm. UAL and AAL have better Intl venture partners than DAL IMO and it seems to be working to the "metal" benefit of all. I'm concerned about that. A lot. OFG
DALPA has stated consistently contrary to Carl's post that they would file a grievance as soon as they legally could. The filed that grievance almost to the day it was allowed. At a ATL pub meeting the chairman stated it would not be rolled into the contract. Time will tell if that proves to be correct.

Nope. If Delta wants any more jets of any size they can go ahead and buy them and train is to fly them.

Trial Balloon Launch……
Why are the related? Our contract says if the E195 is flown at our airline, then it will be flown by mainline pilots.
Why the need to add more "jumbo Rj's"?
