Scope clause won't apply if Delta decides to fly the planes themselves.

No, there are 200 Ejets, 70 145's and 30 Q's.

Which would be the best possible long-term outcome.

Also, just because Delta is providing the DIP financing, does that mean republic actually has to take it (all)?

Delta is not even on the creditors board, so I still doubt Delta is making a move to acquire republic.

Delta can not just go and buy out republic holdings. They are not on the creditor board, therefore, any debt owed to delta will be dealt with after everyone else's is. Do you honestly think AA/UA is just going to let Delta come in without a fight?

There is a lot of information that is being ignored that is a part of this deal including slot leases and ground handling contracts. That 75 million could be tied with those deals.

There is a lot at play here and this is only from 1/3 of the partner airlines. There is still a lot to be seen.

I don't see an ALPA represented organization (Endeavor) merger with an IBT shop (Republic)

AAG has 3 wholly owned carriers. They are not merged and AAG freely moves aircraft and pilots (by way of whipsaw) between all 3. Think delta is above doing something like that?

You can guarantee that delta will not give them 75 mil to kee flying for United and AA. If they accept the cash that flying will go away. That is their playbook all the way.
