I wouldn't be surprised to see ASA do more flying in The Great White North, just like MSA and PCL are down here.
I've heard the CVG rumor as well. Sadly what I think is going to happen is Delta will take away from Comair to make sure they fulfill ASA contractual limits because of two reasons,
1. They own CMR and can do whatever they want with their planes, schedule.
2. ASA is actually cheaper than CMR.
