BTW, yes DAL is increasing their international flying, but no one wants to fly on Comair to Europe! LOL! Remember that Comair and E9 are domestic operations not international. Yes they can fly to Mexico or Canada but that's not really what DAL's talking about, they're talking about long haul with heavy iron. Also SKW has many new routes to Mexico.
Ok, now I see your point. Thus, the "imminent sale" of Comair which will affect the bottom line along with cutting unprofitable routes with all the connection carriers at some point in time. Hmmmmm...interesting.
Btw, is there a publication or periodical that has information what you just posted about SKW and other regionals & Majors that I can get my hands on? There's nothing like being informed!!!
