Delta would lose a few but retain most. They have a bit of clout in the Atlanta area.

You both agreed on the said terms of the contract, making both parties Co owners. Going to have to just face the music.

The only end of our contract is that we show up for work.

What you're driving at would only make sense on the most mundane levels if, I suppose, DL/UAL/etc pilots didn't show up for work and refused to fly the code that they own. Then perhaps there would be some ability for the company to seek relief. That would technically be possible in a legal self help situation. Technically, but of course it wouldn't work, because they couldn't find 13000 scabs fast enough, and probably not nearly that many at all in any amount of time.

Short of something like that, DALPA owns the DL code WRT who flies it. UAL as well as SWA too, and many others. Not all though, so maybe SKYW can fly those scope jets at some of the places that don't own their own code. That is certainly possible. But then if they did, they would run afoul of DL/UAL pilot code ownership in the first place.

Not only that, but ATL is far from some magic yield gravy train. Its a great place for a large hub, and an ok place for a medium sized focus city. Beyond that, its role as an O&D for the limited directs any carrier could do even if they got several gates is limited, and any hub and spoke flying from ATL to another airlines hub would fade into the vast background of every other network there is because everyone's already doing it.

An arterial plaque ?

I'm just glad he found a new thread to hijack

Sounds like me when talking about leaving the regionals, "easy, I jut need to win the Powerball" LOL!

In my last 3 trips I have had legs of 1,200 and 1,300 NM and flew to 4 different countries, there's not much regional left in those regionals. "Contract airlines".

Well that was straight out of "rules for regional airline manager radicals" :D

Sorry bro, but SKYW isn't going to fly larger RJ's for DL or anyone else for that matter, unless they go it alone. If they do, more power to em! I predict they'll make millions (following the typical recipe for becoming a millionaire in the airlines). :cool:

Exactly how "loose" would this UAL flying become?:eek::rolleyes::confused:
