Or just wait for an early termination of their contract with a slow off-season transfer of the aircraft ala ExpressJet....why buy when you can get it for free. Their Delta performance has sucked the last few months. No issues recruiting for the expressjet planes or bases or support structure, so no need to buy. And CZ has the same number of Delta owned aircraft that EV had give or take. And how would they handle all the AA flying. Buying never made any sense to me, but their consolidation through transfer strategy does.Originally Posted by TalkTurkey
In real news, forget about West Coast or eJets until 2020. TSH is not budging on letting go of Compass. They see value in it and Delta never pays asking price. As I've written before, the schedule is everything. If keeping them at CZ in order to keep them flying is whats most cost effective, that's whats going to happen despite DL being placed in the middle seat of that deal.
