BTW Diver, my ears are burning.
I was at the Team Summit meeting and he discussed the UA deal a little more indepth. UA has been here twice and they like what they see. It's not really a matter of "if", but when UA will change it's regional line up. We have been groomed for 50 seat UA flying due to scope on how many 70 seaters Express can operate. Basically UA is waiting for Mesa to go bankrupt or if DL can win their case against MAG or get the injuction appealed.
