However, I have a feeling we will see the same number of SKYW ops into those cities and they will "right size" our domestic operations out of SLC.
We have a long term contract with Skywest.
If we pull flying out of SLC, it would more than likely be mainline. Due to the contracts with DCI, mainline is the accumulator in the system.
It would seem Alaska is a better run airline than Delta. Unfortunately, Delta management agrees.
