Is DAL smart enough to actually factor this in? Who knows.
It also prevents any single regional from completely "owning" a hub or route in the event of a strike.
As a former Comair-er..I know this all too well. I understand it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it!
The way Delta treats their regionals may be "good business sense", but it's also deplorable.
