DAL Pilot Types have been hearing this. Could be an easy way to shed extra unwanted lift/aircraft without having to go to court or buy out a contract.
Don't really believe it. But is slightly plausible.

their goal would be to shed aircraft, especially if the lessors/owners aren't budging on terms of the contracts.
Even the threat is normally enough to make people come to the table.

Do you ever think before posting? The implication that XJT is going under is absurd given the recent events and developments.

Yeah no not gonna happen. The Saabs are already on their last leg before the leases expire. The 200's are the youngest in the delta fleet. They'll be transfered to another company before ever getting dumped. 900's ...... Not going anywhere. You can put this rumor to rest it has zero merit.

That was already done when we were in bankruptcy. The Saab leases were redone to allow for an early termination date. Delta is phasing them out currently. All will be gone within 2 years as it is. There is no reason to go to bankruptcy to dump them. The 200's are the newest in all of DCI, they would be transfered to park older 100/200's. The 900's aren't going anywhere. Delta would gladly add more if they could.

Mesa's J.O. recently spoke of keeping Go! out of Bk filing, but that seems unlikely since it's a wholly owned, (i.e. Delta files so ComAir had to). Even IF they could file seperately (can't think of any examples), why would they want to?
Was this from the cousin of a friend that a flight attendant's neighbor told you?!
