Do you guys think your company (Colgan, Piedmont, or other turboprop operator for USA) will be better or worse off? Just wondered what the word on that was, thanks.

I haven't heard anything yet but I guess it would depend on if the "New Delta" wanted to keep those routes in there system or just convert them to jet legs. Some of the routes don't seem like they'd need jet service and I know certain airports US Airways Express currently serves in the NE couldn't accommodate an RJ. That’s a good question I'm wondering the same.
