It appears Delta has learned, as they have created a very different airline with Endeavor. Please give me your opinion as to why the non wholly owned would be more attractive to Delta
1. They (DL) doesn't have to pay for pilot bonuses..
2. Is non wholly owned airline breaks the CPA agreement they can sue them (rember the SkyWest irops deal) don't want to sue your self...
3. Capital expenditures.. buying RJ's hurts big D's credit score.. higher interest on there planes.. Let someone else pay the bill..
4. Corporate insurance goes up...more exposure...
