Since we’re all speculating here, I have some ideas. Since DG (EDV CEO and DCI SVP) made his little announcement to EDV that they had finalized their plans to consolidate to three carriers, I’ve been thinking. We all know that this next wave of consolidation happens with the demise of TSH, so:
UA (under the guise of a ManaAir like entity) buys TSH. CP is sold off to DL. CP trades the AA flying to RP for their DL flying.
This gets DL down to 3 DCI carriers, and preserves the awesomeness that is CP.
Come on, it’s not as unlikely as the CRJ550!
