I suspect it had a lot to do with Delta's plan to send SkyWest back out west before all of this happened. They were dropping TSA and Compass, and geographically separating the remaining 3 regionals. I think it's more likely OO management didn't start any prorata flying out of ATL knowing this was likely coming sooner or later, rather than them closing ATL because they didn't have any prorata flying.
