Don't everyone get their panties in a wad now! Delta could very well have bigger and better plans for our Saabs. That could have been a soft way of letting them down instead of saying oops sorry we've decided to put those aircraft somewhere else that will be more profitable. Because then they would be asking Delta why, who , where? They are on a "need to know basis and they don't need to know"!
Just my 2 cents, carry on.
