Too much victim mentality. This isn't Delta's problem. It's solely that of the operator, in this case G7. GoJet has had over a year to get their operation running for DL.
Is it not the responsibility of a bidder to ensure that their price and support systems (maintenance, in this case) are adequate to cover cost and to actually provide the services they intend to deliver? It's nice to put in the 'low' bid and gain a chunk of flying, but anyone who has ever provided a bid in any industry knows that the 'best-case' costs and circumstances figured at time of bidding almost never can be achieved. The age and history of the ex-Comair fleet is known....several of these aircraft even flew for EV. It's not as if these aircraft came from overseas with suspect documentation.
