Not that it matters but since we kept that carve out for RAH I wonder if their E-190's will be flying in DAL colors soon. Since that Frontier stuff didn't work out and we offered up a carve out in our TA I'm sure they will try and slide some kind of MOU or LOA in there.

They couldn't fly 190's in DAL colors, but the concern is they one day could do it in the way Alaska has been sadly devolving into: fly your own colors for everyone else as an all airline "connection" carrier somehow connected to some level of SkyTeam's bazillion "partner" airlines.
That is sad but conveinent for management. I'm just curious since they already have a carve out how hard it will be to go ahead and turn those super jumbo rj's on us.

Then you might be 9 short.
As of January 2012, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there are 10 pilot groups in mediation. (EIA, AA, GLA, USA, AWE, PIED, CAL, UAL, NAC, PSA) With a total of 110 cases currently under mediation and only 12 mediators, with 50 weeks available/year each. That's 600 weeks of mediation split among 110 cases (they do railroads too). Yeah, that sounds good, less than 6 weeks a year of mediation. No wonder it's a quagmire.
Duration of␣recent Section 6 Negotiations
Airtran – 7 Years
America West␣– 6 Years**
American – 6 Years**
Continental – 4 Years**
United␣– 3 Years**
US␣Airways – 3 Years**
** Still in negotiations
What facts do you have? Not rhetoric, but facts.

Yeah I know our scope is suppose to stop it. I'm just surprised we left a carve out for the only regional I know of operating 100,000lb airplanes.
That is sad but conveinent for management. I'm just curious since they already have a carve out how hard it will be to go ahead and turn those super jumbo rj's on us.
