And no regional airline is taking another regional airlines flying, unless the mainline partner says so. This thread should be re-titled because it is inaccurate. You don't own any routes or flying when at a regional.
Wow...this is an extremely intelligent comment...

Ty...I understand no one "owns" their routes. I am simply saying given the circumstances it is not that hard to believe that SkyWest with Xjet may be interested in the IAH and EWR flying. SM wouldn't be getting rid of anything he or Delta doesn't want in the first place. Delta's has made it perfectly clear they want to transition to an ALL jet fleet and I am sure even though those aircraft have UCAL colors on them it wouldn’t hurt Delta's feeling's if one of their primary feeder carriers went all Jet. Just a thought...
