Lots of valid info up there but i have got to believe compass is a more attractive option for sale. I tend to think mesaba is just so cheap to operate and can grow very quickly if needed or continue to shrink like they are with furloughs and getting rid of the saabs. Comair has been getting abused for how long now? It would be easy for Delta to just keep up with that and maybe get rid of some more 200s. And like others have said with Republic buying up market share and airlines why not pick one up that has a fleet of which they already operate the type. But hey, like everyone else on here i have nothing to back it all up with. None of us know. It could just as likely be Bull*** as anything else.
