No, but nice try. I'm sure Delta is well aware that Pinnacle voluntarily closed the Colgan BOS Saab base only to ensure we have proper staffing on other bases and fleets. Delta should't have to pay for Pinnacle/Colgan's incompetence. Our company voluntarily gave up the US Airways Express BOS flying. Delta shouldn't have to pay one penny for that or the associated displacement costs.
I love how you stick up for Delta, considering the fact that Delta's goal is to whipsaw regionals against each other at any cost.
