Yeah owning your own feed seems counterproductive to UALs wet dream to become a travel agency. As Comair and Eagle are both going away it seems a failed experiment for AA and DAL. It also is counterproductive to the process of"churning" express labor by swapping carriers around every few years. They would just be repeating the mistakes of AA and DAL. Our management wouldn't be so stupid to keep repeating mistakes, would they?
Upon further review, yes, they are that stupid.
