My point is that the DL MEC is in no position to be hardass. They need to show some positive results after their FM defeat. They know the FM appeal will lose. If they can save face by getting some of their furloughed guys back to work (it will mean giving the shaft to the DCI guys) they will let the company go ahead with the Alliance codeshare deal.
Exactly how will the DCI guys get the shaft. They cant fly the 100 seaters anyway, so they would have to be (and rightly so) flown at mainline by the furloughed mainline guys. Leo has stated that the 70 seaters are staying put at DCI, but I guess they could be diverted to mainline (but now we have an operational integration problem). The only other way I could see a resemblance of a shaft is if they put the 100 seaters at DCI and had the furloughed guys fly them with super seniority. But that wouldnt really affect people below them with different aircraft types. Exactly how do you see the J4J protocal working at Delta and what exactly will the effects be at DCI? Thanks.
