They will probably regret that someday, just like they regretted unlimited 50 seat jets 10 years ago. Silver is a fast growing cancer in ATL. In case you haven't noticed, Mainline 319s and -88s have been doing a couple of flights a day most of the ASA 50 cities like AGS, CHA, and TRI. This has been a triumph of "taking it back". How long do you think it will take DAL to figure out how much cheaper it is to just run 4 340s a day to every city within 300nm of ATL?

DALPA will always be their own worst enemy, due to their shortsightedness.
