You sure about that?There are no minimum fleet requirements to qualify for RJ lift at NWA anymore. Try another theory.
The NWA guys are all saying the DC9's can't get parked without forcing RJ reductions. Delta has a little wiggle room under their scope (which may get bigger without Mesa) so a transfer to the Delta side seemed to make sense while they operate in the interim with NWA as a subsidiary.
SkyWest and Republic seem to have inviolate contracts.
You disagree?
As far as flow throughs go, my guess is that DAL will hire pilots after the NWA deal is consumated. NWA may have hired their last pilot ever when those functions become part of the Delta HR machine.
