IMHO the second these become "Delta" jobs, then our express operation becomes the most coveted opportunity in the industry. Delta could do away with the shell game, unify the flight operations, get rid of seven redundant corporate structures (and defacto separate fleets) and maintain a near status quo cost structure. That is the way forward.
Bar, if I was going to crystal ball it, that is exactly the way I see it playing out. The beginning of the long awaited shortage is here. That is unless Congress does something to screw it up.
