I do not believe the flows will be cancelled. It's contractual on two ends.

There is another way to get rid of the flows.
If mesabas assets are sold to skywest, or the flying is simply transfered, the pilots and the contract would be gone. The flow would then be gone as well.
Same thing could happen at compass as well.

If the flow becomes unavailable by any means the amount of allowed 76 seat jets is reduced to 85. The seats need to be block off quickly and removed shortly there after. That is the poison pill there with the flow. So with 86 jets with 76 sets or more that leaves it very close. That is DCI wide. Currently there are 153 76 seat jets flying in the delta system. Look at you math above.
The contact allows 255 total 70 and or 76 seat jets not to exceed 153 76 seat jets until we have 763(8) mainline jets and then 3-1 for more 76 seat jets. This does not preclude DAL from awarding 70 (66) seat flying to the 255 number. The proviso on the flows details 76 seat jets not the 255 cap for 70/76 seat jets.
Make sense?

If they disband Compass to sell the assets off, then they lose the 36 airframe, 89,000lbs carve out. Not in management's best interest to do that.

If they can get RJET to waive the early termination penalties for those 175's it makes a ton of sense for DAL to do it. It is a cheap way out of their DCI contract.
Why do you think we are keeping the DC-9 30's and 40's a few more months? (Just a guess)

However after reading this part again
"Exception two: In the event the flow provisions of NWA LOA 2006-10 and LOA 2006-14 cease to be available, either at the feeder carrier affiliate referenced in such LOAs or at another carrier, the number of jet aircraft configured with 71-76 passenger seats specified in Section 1 B. 40. d. will revert to 85. "
It does say LOA 2006-10 and LOA 2006-14.
Does each refer to the seperate flow.
If so it seems to me that they would be able to elimate one of the flows and still be in compliance with the exception.

All I can say is that tomorrow should be a big day for the future of DCI.

Riddle you have found the proverbial nail and hit it square on the head. Yes they detail each flow separately.
