This will come with a base at a hot, humid Texas airport, and maybe one more domicile in a place that rhymes with buwark. The jets unfortunately will be taken from a coMpeting regional. The jets will arrive at a pace that does not force the company to furlough, but for 6 months we will be painfully over staffed. Goodbye SEA. PHX will go too if DL is going to make us start paying for our MX space there.

- alternate theory -

The deal flops and management pushes the announcement date continually, and doesn’t admit it until they’ve dragged us along to stay staffed. I cry quietly as I update AirlineApps and tell my dog that everything is going to be okay
