We already fly a certian amount of flights to our hubs on mainline equipment, and the flights are already pretty full from LGA. It would have been nice to get that other terminal next door, but I see it full of RJs. This seems like a larger blow to Compass and Comair, not Delta. I just don't see the catastrophic view that some do on here. I am sure it will be resolved, but that would probably mean less RJs, and more mainline taking over for the fewer flights allowed.
