Has there ever been a merger that had a divorce? Like you know, hey Delta this is northwest, things just arent working out. Lets split and go back to the way it was. You take your kids (regionals), we will take ours back.
With the divorce rate so high in this country i figured it was worth asking.
We all feel the frustration. There is absolutely no movement.
It's a safe bet that two of the six you mentioned above will be gone from DAL livery soon. The remaining 4 will be juggled anyway DAL sees fit to place them.
Looks like Compass, Comair, Pinnacle is being set up for extensive flying on the Eastern corridor and Mesaba throughout the Midwest and the West along with SkyWest.
I expect to see a major reduction of 50 seat RJs in the DCI system in the next couple of years so any DCI carrier with too many 50 seat RJs or turboprops will be feeling the pain, just like Mesaba is currently being punished for having way too many Saabs, which should have been retired a long ago.
