I would hope if (yeah, right) 9E was released to strike, that the other ALPA carriers, including DL and NW, would honor the struck work - NOBODY would be flying those routes.
When you are "released" both the company and the pilots are released - that means that the company no longer has to honor the contract it has with its pilots, can hire replacement pilots (Scabs), and stop your health insurance.
However, Delta (should) will have a hard time getting anyone else, save maybe Skywest, from flying that work. Not sure what Skywest's pilot association's agreement with their management says about flying struck work.
The only way they get released is if Obama becomes President, maybe before his 1st term is up. Bush or McCain? Forget it, NEVER happen.
