I’m not sure where this industry is going but I think it is going to be a shift away from outsourcing of domestic flying. A few regionals have looked at, or are currently doing their own branded flying because regional contracts are becoming few and far between now.
I think your right. A good portion of the domestic flying at Delta is already done by Alaska via a codeshare that circumvents scope. I wonder when Delta will form a JV or codeshare deal with SkyWest? SkyWest is already testing the waters on this type of deal with Republic and the MidWest flying. How long till SkyWest is running an airline with 90-125 seat aircraft and codesharing with Delta and United?
