9E's Agreeemnt with the big red tail does not allow flying out of MEM, MSP or DFW; ergo new base or lots of DH [not that they don't do it now]
Thats true. But, say it ends up being CVG. As far as I know, 9E does all kinds of flying to CVG. 9E crew flies a NW -200 down to CVG, gets out, walks over to the other concourse, does DL -900 flying for 3 days, then on the last leg flies a NW -200 home.
