Are you suggesting that Delta could operate the aircraft more profitably than Pinnacle or GoJets?
Only you are magically increasing your costs 25% to draw this picture. Nobody ever proposed bringing arrjays to DAL @ 25% increase. Even if you increase the crew pay - which again nobody mentioned - the "synergies" from overhead in management/soc/office rendundancies would offset a significant portion of your self-imposed cost increase.
I already know that you can't write, but apparently you can't read either because I said nothing of being
more profitable. I said that if Hulas can make money, you can too.
