Nothing is preventing this from happening at ASA.
Or USAir, Midwest, or Aloha, for that matter, so nevermind I brought it up...
Actually, that's not true. As part of the deal for SkyWest to buy ASA, (and thus financing DAL's exit from bankruptcy), SkyWest Inc. was guaranteed a large portion of DAL feeder flying (purported to be 80% of ATL and SLC). That's why CMR is getting hosed, because DAL can't go after ASA/SKW, has had no success with Mesa, and RA plays golf with PCL's PT. The cuts have to come from somewhere. Unfortunately, XJ is probably next. I thank the heavens every day that DAL sold us. Being a DAL WO is probably the worst thing that can be wished on a regional.
