Delta is getting rid of 50s asap... Comair has the oldest in the fleet which means those will probably be the first to go right? What makes anyone think that delta will replace those 50s with 70/90s??

ESPECIALLY when they have just sold two regional airlines with a promise to the buyer (same as the ASA deal) that Delta will give them a certain amount of flying. Delta doesn't have to promise Comair anything... they own them… and have the power to shrink them by taking away airplanes and not replacing them… (which is exactly what they have been doing for the past 5 years)

Sooo… I ask again, why does anyone think delta will replace the 50s they are taking from Comair?
