The contract can only be canceled for that reason if ASA/SkyWest Inc. doesn't agree to match the 2nd lowest bid. They will, and if necessary, will take a small hit on their profit margin to maintain their relationship with Delta.
Given that the 2nd lowest cost business is in every DCI agreement (JA himself said this during one of his crewroom chats), don't you think there's an issue here? After all, they can't cancel everybody's contract or there will be no DCI lift left.
