Oh, you may be right about that...I wasn't aware. I do have a friend who is based at LAX doing DL Connex flying. I'll pick his brain about it.

yeah, thats no longer correct, but Im glad they chose us over SkyWest

Maybe they'll begin mixing it up. Must preserve the proverbial whipsaw!

I'm not sure if some of these cities had been discontinued and are just now re-opening, but I've personnally done all but 2 of those destinations in Jul-Aug of this year.

Never mind. Somebody else said it.

I just looked through the DL schedule and it looks like all of the flights will be operated by XJT, except the Acapulco flight which shows as a Mainline (B738).

With fuel being what it is, i'm not sure why Delta would want a crappy 50 seat jet on those flights? CRJ or ERJ 50 seat jets suck.

Well Genius, its probably because they wont fill those half the time anyway. There is a lot of competition from Mexican LCC's that provide tickets to LAX for a lot less the DL. Thats why they will use the crappy 50 seat jets.

This limitation has been lifted by a renegotiation of the SKW UAX deal. Presumably they would not have negotiated to get rid of it if they didn't intend to fly for someone (probably DAL) out of LAX.
