I think DALPA could have an NMB case should it come to that, but I agree that it probably won't. DL didn't take too kindly to ACA's little experiment and SKYW attempting it would likely be viewed as an even more severe threat.
But what is the deal on the ATL gates? Who owns/leases them and for how long, and what happens then?

Delta has a contract with SKYW for every aircraft in DAL colors. each tranche of flying (usually around 10-20 hulls) has a revenue guarantee for a period of 5-15 years. As long as SKYW meets contract mins in performance etc DAL has to pay them for the totality of the contract. All Capacity Purchase Agreements are like this. Now if SkyWest launches their own airline out of ATL in breach of some portion of their contract then there may be a legal basis for some form of compensation or modification to the agreement.
Anyway, bankruptcy, failure to met the performance metrics in the CPA or breach would be the only way out. If DAL decided to go all mainline tomorrow they would have to pay their various RJ partners handsomely to get out of the deals...

In exchange for 5,000lbs.
My guess is the crj900 will be re-engined and still be able to meet
The 86k limits.
It would offer flexibility to the company but reduce DC size???

That would allow DCI to get the next gen E-Jets, they aren't going to let that happen unless they are dumb.

To do anything else would be suicide for the 717 or a replacement at Delta.

The current large RJ max is 223 airframes. The chances of raising that number to 250 and increasing the weight are zero on a negotiated contract. The chances for a numbers increase alone are zero on the next contract. The chances for a weight increase are probably between zero an five percent if that 223 number was reduced to at least 133.

Rj's was around 325. I was talking about reducing that #.
