A lot of what has been said is close, but here are the actual facts:
- Skywest was not the main reason the decision was made. Delta TOLD skywest that they were taking over 100% of the ground ops in SLC. Skywest talked them down to 25%. So Delta is taking over that amount in order to consolidate their op
True, two weeks ago everybody in SGU thought we were losing all the ground services in SLC. Word is that Jerry spent a week in ATL trying to salvage the situation.

In the past when SKW has taken over a ground station from another company (including DAL), they have hired the other company's people and even given them longevity. But somehow I didn't expect that from DAL.
Best of luck.
