How would they attempt to enforce it? I suspect I can answer that question. They couldn’t because it didn’t apply. A fragmentation clause applies when an airline sells a negotiated portion of its operation, not for mergers. The 717’s were also leased and went back to Boeing. I doubt Boeing wanted the AirTran pilots. The 717’s were replaced as part of that deal and no pilots furloughed. There was nothing even related to a fragmentation clause in what happened. Aircraft are sold off and replaced all the time.
