I thought they were coming from Air Canada.

There was a rumor floating around that we were going to get 190s from Air Canada, but it's looking like that won't happen.

Not really. The DAL 190s are not coming from US, but from Air Canada as has been discussed on several threads all over the Internet.

I'll believe we are keeping them when they paint 1, doesn't mean there going to delta just means they aren't staying here.

As far as I know, the MRO facility in SAT does not paint a/c. Could be wrong. I heard from a check airman (sigh) that the first batch of 190s is scheduled to be painted this fall.
