Delta extended the 145 flying for a few more years which completely disrupted the clown show in HQ. The plan was to staff the new flying with displaced 145 pilots. Oops. Anyways, a rumor floating around here is that Mother Delta is doing this on purpose to allow BB to choke on the ashes of this continuing failure which will give Delta the right to immediately terminate the contract. In my limited world view, that seems plausible. Delta is pretty ruthless when dealing with their feeders.
