Well there may actually be a corporate strategy going on here. For instance, if XJT is bound by the CPA to do X amount of hours and Delta knows we can't actually fly it, it's a lawsuit and win for Delta. Exactly what they did to Republic forcing them into bankruptcy. They couldn't fly their obligations and Delta sued. I wouldn't be surprised if they are using the same strategy.
This is a nice reminder of how daddy delta treats their regionals.
