World on the street at asa is that delta can and will cut ASAs' contract soon. The factors are as is; 2 consecutive fiscal quarters below on time and completion obligations. I don't see asa being cut totally like mesa was but don't be surprised if delta pulls some 50 seaters.
Either way asa/xjt will have more 50 seaters than most regionals have total aircraft and will only have about 50 or so 70 seaters. That means, 85% of the new asa is "toxic" flying.
