Ok I have to ask as a non-pilot, why does Delta have sway over SkyWest in terms of what planes it can fly? If SkyWest wants to fly a 87.3k pound plane and Delta limits its regionals to 86k, what business is it of theirs? SkyWest pilots are SkyWest employees, not Delta employees, aren't they?

SKYW can fly hourly A380's from their SGU hub to every city in America if they want to. They just can't do it while being a DL partner.
SKYW is free to go IndyAir anytime they want to. But as long as they want to do DL (or UAL, etc) flying, they are subject to those agreements and WRT DL, DALPA owns the code and controls what they can do. They do not have, nor will we grant, them permission to go above our current seat and weight limits. Not allowed. Period.

You own a McDonald's. It's your restaurant, but are you allowed to sell pizza and egg rolls? No.

That would actually be a Mcd's product. Most chains will vary their menu across the globe to meet local food tastes. Ever been to mcdonalds in asia? Not the same, at all.
