Fact is that nothing has happened. Someone saw ZW on a DL site and that has led to ZW being a bad airline that lost flying for AirTran.
First ZW does just fine at completion for Airways. ACARS time, not call it what you want time. Northeast flying mostly and you should know that's toughest out there.
If DL is asking for help with a staffing issue, and calling on ZW then fine. Its just that.
ZW did not vote in a concessionary contract to be cheap and then take jobs from another ALPA carrier. AKA PSA literally stabbing Eagle brothers in the back.
I just checked and if ZW got flying from 9E it would not be at the expense of them...geeze ZW makes a lot more on 50 seaters than 9E does on 76 seaters.
So for those of you that are in airline management training AKA BillyHOEbag if you are going to speak for airline management get your facts straight
Oh really, and yet another one that can't see the forest for the trees. Delta would be shuffling airframes around to avoid doing what they need to do, and that is raise the pay rates so they can slow attrition and attract new hires. But they don't want to do that just yet, because guess what, Skywest Inc. agreed to a rate reset with DL to match the second lowest rate. So as long as Delta can find someone to play ball with them, it'll give them more time to make that happen. So it may seem like no big deal that Air Wisconsin (May) get flying from Delta, notice I said MAY, It actually may do more damage to the regional sector.
