Why doesn't Delta partner with Republic in this deal?
How does this benefit Delta?
Is there more to this purchase by Republic?
I hear you 80. What's to stop RAH from using the A320's on the old Delta Shuttle routes that they now fly? After all Midwest has a nice get out of scope free card with Delta and thus I think it's brand is VERY important to Bedford.
The coming months will be telling. Does Delta continue it's very one-sided code-share with Midwest? Do they expand it? Does LM continue to ask his constituents for more scope relief?
