For you RAH and RJ haters, this looks full of win. RAH Frontier gets direct competition for their money losing branded service from one of their own and Delta gets the revenue. If they cancel too much or have poor operational performance, they get their CPA penalties applied.
I have no problem, in the interim, that DAL pits RAH Frontier against RAH owned CHQ/Shuttle DCI flights. I find that to be just a lot fun.
However, I would not say I am an RAH or RJ hater. I'm not a hater, I'm a lover.... I'm just not as good as it as say, Ferd149....
