Truman,
ASA has seen massive growths spurts too. When the contract is signed I believe things will get better. I just read that Skywest inc. has an order for 70 new planes all 700 or 900's. Yes, I'm sure SW airlines will get their fare share, but Atl is still the bread and butter of Delta, and I believe we will get our share as well.
Insider info... King Tutt recently met with SW exec's in LAS. After that the slow wheels of "talks" began again, informal as they may be, one could surmise that JA told them in his best Georgian accent "get er dun"

wishfull thinking? probably
logical guess? maybe
Stick is an idiot? most definetly!
