Skywest will get it all, Comair won't see anything. If this was an agreed upon termination of contract, they've (DL and XJ) have probably been talking about it for at least a few weeks, so would've known/given Comair the heads up.
Skywest is Delta's favorite child, and will continue to be rewarded.
Well, if we're talking family relations, SkyWest would be more of a step child; but yes, it seems to be Delta's favorite. And Comair, which is their real child, gets almost worse treatment than Mesa the family dog and doesn't get thrown much more than a bone; bit ironic really. SkyWest gets more and more work and yet the airline they actually own does not; afterall it still costs them $ to operate it. I have to wonder why Delta doesn't just sell Comair to SkyWest?
