Here are the FACTS:

ASA was informed that we would be replaced in LAX due to poor operating efficiency. As it turns out ASA was never able to adequately staff LAX, and most of the flights were being operated with ATL based crews and airplanes doing 4 legs cross country or deadheading. ASA also never opened a mtc base and refused to base a spare in LAX. Delta had enough and replaced us with XJT.

All of the airplanes and crews will be returning to ATL.

Oddly enough, XJT's labor contracts are much better than ours, but their management runs the company efficiently, so they were able to give Delta a more competetive offer.
