This is true. ATL to CSG, ABY, CHA, (MCN), VLD, BQK, AGS, DHN, MGM, AVL, TRI, GSP, PFN, VPS, GTR, HSV, MEI, MSL; and MEM to MEI, GTR, HSV are all routes ASA "owned" before becoming a Delta Connection Carrier in 1984. These are all now operated by someone in the Delta "family"
Check out the 1984 route map, at the time we signed on with Delta:
