I find it hard to believe DAL would put as much on Skywest as was previously on Comair, ala 2001. Maybe they are less scared of a non-union pilot group after the whipping they got at the hands of Comair ALPA in 2001...

There are all kinds of rumors out there...but I'm almost 100% sure those airplanes are going to Mesaba. I doubt Atkin would play NWA's game like the little red tails currently do.

Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see...when you read it in a press release think it might happen, when you see it on the ramp or get in the cockpit only then can you be sure its a reality.
