Is it me, or is Delta an enigma? Everyone thought they would dump RAH when we bought MEA and F9. They announce 8 170s in Jan. They announce routes out of MCI that directly compete with RAH. Now they add 6 more 170s today.
I doubt we'll see a displacement. The 190's are still coming, a little late due to the whole Japan ordeal. Should be an upgrade bid out here shortly. Also the latest FO vacancy for new hires had a good amount of MKE slots. Looks like some routes are going to 145's as they come off lease.
