And what's Delta going to do when the mainline has another accident and gets sued? Sell it too?

If you care to check the record, Delta was released from the liability in the 5191 accident nearly three years ago. Furthermore, Comair carried ample insurance sufficient to pay all claims and expenses.

So will more Comair assets get sold off? Quite possibly as Delta seeks cut deals with the F4D carriers without spending a lot of cash, but it will have nothing to do with the 5191 accident or any other safety issue.
