Delta has come in and has begun taking over all essential business functions and integrating them into Delta (at a minimal cost to DL). Delta managers are replacing most of the 9E people. Delta has basically achieved a C-scale wage pilot group, and because most essential functions are actually going to be done by Delta, the overhead will be very low and overall probably cheaper than any stand-alone regional that has its own overhead to pay for.
