Once again, that is thanks to the Delta pilots scope language. You RJDC guys are running in circles.
NYRANGERS, does the Delta MEC have veto rights on new codeshare agreements? I remember that the new NW, CO, DL codeshare had to be approved by your MEC. The same was the case at NW but not sure about CO.
By the Delta MEC allowing Delta to grow its "portfolio" of regional carriers you take away the ability of your regional partners to leverage any gains in terms of benefits and compensation come contract time. The lower the cost structure stays at the regional level the more desirable it is for mainline managements to keep the domestic flying with their regional partners. This situation does little to help your furlough situation. Its probably to late for mainline MEC's to ever get rid of the RJ's but the next best thing you can do is scope your brand name.
