This might answer a lot of questions...
The sale leaves only a single owned regional, Comair, at Delta. Based at Delta’s diminishing hub at Cincinnati, the future of Comair has been an open question for some time. It has not been seen as a good acquisition target by other regionals owing to its union problems and costs.

It is quite possible that this could be a good thing for Comair. Equally as possible as a negative outcome from Comair being the only remaining wholly owned regional.
Having flexibility in your business model is a good thing so that one can adjust to changing economic/operating environments. Owning Comair gives DL some flexibility in that regard.
Of course that's not necessarily great for Comair, but it does give them some sort of value to DL, which might exclude them from being dismantled. That seems to be an extreme scenario.

This is not intended as flamebait, but my sources tell me that Delta plans to liquidate Comair this fall to raise the cash to settle the LEX accident. This became firm last year when the KY Supreme Court ruled that the LEX airport board couldn't be sued to recoup the uncovered losses.
If it happens, it will be a sad end to a once great airline.
