Thinking about your bizarre reaction, when in fact DGS isn't objectively a good ramp, is puzzling. DGS can be a bad service service and Delta still be a good company. They're bad at managing regionals too, which is why we're the best paid, you can talk to any of the senior people that had their head out of the sand for that. Union guys can usually give you a good date by date of how we are where we are. Delta isnt bad because DGS is bad. The refinery is being offered up for sale too, which was a mistake, but if oil shot up Delta would have been well insulated. Delta is still a good company despite a couple wrong turns. You're still weird though, exemplified by your posts.

A couple months Delta the public company will have some numbers for the investors, I'm interested as always to read it. Giving an asset (dgs) to another company to manage in exchange delta gives away their ownership is a fairly simple and telling move. You can see that by the joint flowery release.
They always revamp their ground services.

Northwest did it, Delta does it.

I've see it happen several times since 2001 between the two.
