The way i see it is they have 9E on a cost nutral base.. The BOD realy doesnt understand why thy cant show them as money making... Because if they do there is no whipsawing the rate reset!! My guess is they know 9E is a short term gap (sorry guys/gals) but history shows Delta uses and discards regionals... Just a mater of time.. Plus Delta wants out of the 200 leases.. They have learned that its a pain to have ASA/SKY/9E hand over a plane then walk away leaving Delta with a bill for storage/return...
