I agree that it's certainly newsworthy, but what makes this significant for Delta pilots out west?

Many out on the west coast dreamed of the day when Delta would buy Hawaiian, and they could be HNL based on the ER or 330 or even the 717 living their best island lives. Sad day for those surfers.

the SLI and breakup with AA codesharing will be entertaining, if nothing else. Here's to everyone being upset with the outcome...which is the best outcome

Lots of used 330s and 321s about to hit the market. Maybe 717s too. Alaska loves the 737 more than SWA.

Who knows how the DOJ wil require the merged unit to divest routes. The most significant of course is to the island's. Delta doesn't have nearly as much capacity to Hawaii as everyone else. This could give management a reason to up the service volume out of our 2 westerly hubs, maybe....
