Complete nonsense.
Delta runs a near perfect operation with little to no cancellations.
Skywest is one of the most vulnerable regionals. Their no union and poor pay means they will have trouble staffing. All legacy carriers contracts with regionals have “performance” in them.
Endeavor will be just fine by themselves and the last DCI to go.
