It's definitely true that the process will take a while. But Ed is also on record as saying that he sees the regional model going away altogether. Now it sounds like LAX is going to be where it all begins, and of all the Delta regionals Compass has by far the greatest exposure there. So the long term indeed looks cloudy at best (pun intended).
But as we all know, this business can change overnight. All we can do is fly a lot, do a good job, and get out. The flip side of all of this is more mainline flying at LAX. I'm all for that!
