I'm a little late on this one, but those are some sharp looking airplanes; especially the branded one!

We didn't "take" your flying. We bid on flying CAL took from you. If we didn't fly it, some other regional would be. It's just like you didn't "take" ASA's LAX flying...you bid on stuff that Delta took away from ASA. They were far from "keeping the gates warm" as ASA had been in LAX before that whole 69 airplane deal was even a dirty stain on the mattress. |

Nobody. There was no previous regular DCI presence at LAX as Delta did a passenger codeshare with American Eagle.
Quit grasping for straws to somehow rationalize the GoJet situation... update: ooooppps.....never mind. I didn't notice the the NEXT button. I must be tired. |

WRONG!!!!!!!!! It came from the ASA pilots. We had a base here that opened and will close on June 1 when Xpress Jet takes over. I wouldn't use the word steal...... It is more the fault of Skabwest and Jerry the A$$ Atkins playing strong arm with us while we are in contract negotiation. this is our 3rd base closure in 3 year

XJT replaced ASA in LAX because the 145XR's performance was needed and the ASA CRJs weren't cutting it. I just read this somewhere.

I'm not a fan of the new livery, The new font looks nice, yet, I like the look of the old widget, blue and red; and I wish there was more blue, running evenley down the A/C . . . How much money do ya think Delta now has to spend in this image change? I would guess LOTS!!!
