Continental uses ExpressJet
Delta uses Comair/Skywest
Northwest uses Mesaba
Alaska has Horizon
Frontier has Lynx
That would be great for the industry. I am rooting for Northwest to aquire Mesaba and give all their new flying to Mesaba.
There is a lot you will learn when you are not an instructor and are a regional pilot, and why is it alright for delta to have 2 when the rest would have one?
