Can't say much for the other regionals, but it appears that this Delta TA will benefit the new Expressjet, more than any other regional, for the better. Things are definitely looking good as time goes forward.

A flow into a preferred interview I can see, anything else would lift an eyebrow or two... until then, its business as usual and in a few years maybe something will happen to benefit us regional guys.
