Not exactly a pretty picture.

ASA was sold to Skywest to raise cash and to secure gates. The gate decision DL probably regrets, but the cash came in handy. Without it DL would most likely not have survived.

not in this situation. History is completely irrelevant. We’ve never seen anything like this before. One minute everything is tits next total meltdown

Anyone know how much of a haircut Delta is giving Skywest? Are we the only ones getting the BUZ cut?

Everyone is parking something but Endeavor will probably park the most. Delta pays for Endeavor maintenance Skywest and Republic are payed to fly and maintain their own fleet.

Delta doesn't charge them for this? I would find that hard to believe if Delta did not.

Seems like most of the other regionals have announced plans for SIL some really crappy others somewhat attractive yet here at 9E only thing we are hearing is voluntary leave. I’d this because they are getting the numbers they needed volunteering for leave or the union and company just not finding common ground. Losing so much flying and parking aircraft everywhere ones gotta think the music has stopped and we are just waiting for the ship to break in two.
