ACL,
I know that was true several years ago, but as I recall Delta went to the SLC Department Of Airports and complained about the high costs. With the stroke of a pen they cut the airport fees substantially, as they very much want Delta here.
From what I understand lately, Delta is frustrated by the FAA air traffic controller on-the-job training programs in Salt Lake. While I love flying out west, the SLC controllers are, in my opinion, the worst in the country (not sugar-coating it).
