In light of the hundreds of millions of dollars Holdings has blown on the XJT/Asa merger, if Delta buys LASA, I don't foresee it merging it with 9E. It would make more sense to keep it as a separate, but wholly owned airline.
There's also the question of how SKYW's 100 new MRJ's will be distributed once scope issues are resolved.

by 2017, the regionals will be so short staffed, the only solution with be consolidation. It is not far-fetched to think that Delta (or United) would buy ASA and merge into Endeavor (or commutair)...if anything, for the excess pilots alone. They know there are ~500 lifers here at ASA, that will never flow into Delta and won't leave...that will help keep ASA afloat flying RJs until they reach 65.

Yes...the magical and elusive MRJ. MRJ, C-series, A350...all great planes, on paper. Until I see some U.S. carriers actually flying passengers around in them, I don't really count those. ....Unicorns and fairies.....
