Jmo.
You are right they were just flying the same airplane with a few less rows of seats behind them. They are totally incapable of flying Delta passengers safely.
Um... never mind.
If they bring their old airplanes with them it would be one big fleet back under the mainline banner. Take back scope, rates would be secondary for everyone on property right now.
