Why is ASA the only other DCI expected to feel the pain (Comair) of the 50 seat loss? Why not add Pinnacle, Mesaba and CHQ to the list...
Also, Delta still needs feed. They are not replacing 50's with more 70's/90's, so it stands to reason that not such a drastic amount of 50's can/will be shed! Delta needs the hubs fed, and right now the 50 does the bulk of this feeding. Take it FWIW.
If you think Pinnacle, CHQ, and soon to be mesaba haven't been feeling or will be not be feeling the pain, you haven't been paying attention to the industry other than whats going on with your carrier. Lots of info about Pinnacle, CHQ, and Mesaba pain in several threads on this forum.
