As far as JO cancelling the notes, looks like to me he sees the end coming, hence why pay and lose his cash. He's hording and hiding. My 2 cents.
It's probabaly a big deal if you're one of the 1300. Delta doesn't want to shift regional flying around, they want to do away with it. Additionally, if SkyWest were to take over the United Express stuff were already staffed for it and wouldn't need to hire.
