...and give those 717's to whichever DCI carrier is hungriest. I'm sure ALPA was in the driver's seat with this TA

Turboprops are capped in TA the same as jets. Treated equal.

Delta will probably just pull service entirely in some markets.

This isn't a flow up anyway. You still have to
Apply and interview

this is in reference to DL, BTW F9 is toast, but it sounds like its all you got.....lemmie guess, one of the RAH Dinosaurs who keep telling his FO's that he "...planned on staying at RAH for 20 years because they new they would buy a failing carrier..." like F9? And miss out on a huge hiring boom? For all its positives, F9 has made money only 3 or so outta nearly 17 years? Without WN ripping into them? The F9 unwinding may work, I hear its taking the same list that got them STS'd and disassembling it, line by line. With Obama and Hoofa so close? Hah! Frontier, for all its great folks, can't hang with WN or UA, no cash. (COS to ???) I don't think I would count on an Airbus seat when another post age 65 hiring boom is about to happen.....skeletons in the closet?

They can "take the same list that got them STS'd and disassemble it, line by line." but it won't change anything. STS is independent of ownership and the craft and class of pilot still remains. If guys are still around then they can take a seat that is available.... if they get hired out then good for them. I guess it all depends on what happens in the industry. Either way, staying or going is a nice option to have.

Seriously? You think that's what they'll do? How about still fly those markets with the 125 50 seaters remaining, back fill the rest with 70s, backfill the 70s with 76s, and backfill the 76s with 7171s.
