I am sure you know, but for some that don't they will be replacing some ER's, so its a replacement not an addition tot he aircraft we currently have flying for CAL,


The saddest thing about this whole situation is in the END CAL got exactly what they wanted from us, XJT product at rock bottom price and the best a/c of our fleet after all this will end up right back where they started

Other legacies have done it before, CAL FINALLY decided to use the other guy's playbook.

I picked out just this one sentence to save reading time. You do ask a good question before this sentence but the answer takes care of both.

...and they get 100% of profits which is MOST important to their stock price going forward.

Bingo. This is the key answer why DAL is going forward with whittling down to 2 regionals that are wholly owned. Though after the merger, if the furlough becomes unlikely, I was told by several senior NWA CAs that Compass is most likely the best candidate for sale along with Comair. They are saying they are hanging onto Compass because if NWA starts to furlough, it is a job option for NWA furloughed pilots.

Aren't they still keeping 10 of the 135s? I read that they were removing 29 of 39.
