Not looking for an argument good sir, just stating the fact that the paperwork side of things is done. No SIM time or CKA yet that I know of.

Scope within RAH's CBA with the pilot group scope would not allow that.

Interesting note from the earnings announcement:

Delta Air Lines exercised its right to extend 24 aircraft under the Shuttle America ERJ code-share agreement from May 2016 to May 2021. The Company currently operates 41 aircraft under the agreement with Delta, of which 17 can be removed by Delta with 90 days prior written notice.

Glad to hear you have that protection. No caveat about "unless no RAH pilot is furloughed" or anything similar is there?

My theory still stands that Delta extended the contract in order to sue Republic/Shuttle for breach of contract and either bring United and or American into the same world of hurt that Delta is in. Republic and or Shuttle will most certainly have to declare bankruptcy for their failure to meet contract obligations. Could that be the reason to put the new United 175's on the Republic certificate? Shield the Republic side from the world of hurt Shuttle is going through. Heller already bounced or was fired how long until Bedford can find a better gig?

For those that think 50's are dissapearing right away, apparently delta likes 50 seaters enough to keep them around another 6 years. I'm assuming the majors were smart and hedged a bunch of fuel at when it was under $50/barrell and plans on using it to keep the 50's flying as long as they can be staffed

That is also in there but wouldn't be applicable under that situation. I think it is worded that any leases must not cause a furlough. But that is meant to protect against leasing to foreign carriers (which we have/are doing. I believe they could get away with leasing the aircraft to foreign carriers under this clause. However, for the domestic market (the situations discussed earlier in the thread) it would not be possible under the current contract.

Delta extended the 145 contract due to the failure of signing a 50 seat contract with air whiskey. Very simple...

Why would Delta do that? The 145s are not going to be the first thing staffed and have the fastest upgrade. There will be pilots to fly it. Furthermore, if Delta really wanted to bring other airlines into "the same world of hurt" and perhaps do a huge amount of damage they could purchase a regional that mainly does flying for another mainline carrier and put those planes/pilots where you want them. In this environment it would be devastating to mainline feed.
