The contract with DAL is for guaranteed present and future "flying," this doesn't mean flying can't be shuffled. So if DAL is pulling ASA out of Marathon then it is because ASA has pick up flying elsewhere. Remember there can't be a reduction in flying, this doesn't mean a reduction in destinations. One leg doesn't make up for 21 lost seeing that that would be a reduction in "flying." Now if you count the CR7's and other flying ASA has picked up & everything SKW has received since the agreement/purchase then I'm sure that the total flying by SKW Inc is still much greater than it was before purchase, therefore no preach of contract. Doesn’t mean JA's not disappointed.
BTW, I’m interested in how your friend knows what Atkins & Grinstein are doing/thinking. No offense but your info is extremely single sided.
Otherwise I enjoy your postings and I think you're a bright guy with a steady head on your shoulders. In the past you haven't fueled the fires of controversy so don't start now.
he knows because he heard it come out of his mouth in a meeting they had. also remember i never said it was a breach of contract. delta is using all the language in the contract to their advantage. like i said in the post before this i know it appears that it is one sided. that is what i was trying to clarify. i dont have a real stake in asa and skywest flying. but my friend does so of course when he tells me whats up it is one sided. i work at pinnacle, we fly for northwest with a little side flying for delta right now. i myself am not trying to be one sided, not even sure which side i was protraying. all i am saying is there is some funny business going on and i am not sure where it will lead. Like you said i dont fuel fires, and i don't post flame bait. everything i have ever posted on here has been "rumor" for a bit, then became fact. from 9e buying colgan, to pinnacle flying for delta. so once again i hope i am not comming across one sided. Delta will have 9 regional carriers by the end of the year. i guess we will have to wait and see how it all plays out.
