Sorry for all the folks about to lose their jobs... I know what you're going through. Best of luck!!
I don't know, in concept it looks pretty similar to what United did announcing that they were parking their 737 fleet and furloughing roughly 2 years before they'll be closing their merger with CO. Besides there aren't a ton of players left and most are busy over the next year or two. SkyWest buying integrating X-Jet, Republic still working with MidEx and Frontier, TSA with Compass, Pinnacle with Mesaba and other certificate changes, Air Willy probably tapped by their UsAirways deal, Mesa in BK. Who would be capable/willing to step up to the plate? Also if Delta is that set in really reducing 50 seaters, isn't the projected remaining amount of 70/90's curiously similar to the amount of 50's SkyWest operates for Delta? That could be another way they plan to try and get around the remaining crews all being on max pay scales. Absolutely amazing(not in a good way) how much has changed over the times in this industry. It's a dirty game, good luck to everyone.
