I didn't say doom and gloom. I even said that OO getting replacement birds for their old 700's wasn't that big a deal. Something was clearly brewing with Compass and that fell apart. Can't say if that's good or bad for us because I don't know what the details of that were going to be. I am saying that another extension of GoJet is a bad thing for us. Our 200's are getting very tired very fast, and they have no replacement under current Delta scope because nobody is building a 50 seat jet anymore. (Delta wouldn't replace them with a prop so keep your ATR or Dash-8 comments). Even if we got the entire GoJet fleet they fly for Delta in replacement for all our 50 seaters, that's still a slight reduction for us in total airframes for us. As for the bean counter comment, well I said maybe. I don't know for sure but I do know that our costs to Delta's accounting books are now higher than with the bonus program.
