Just a thought: try looking it up on Delta's website.

Haha! Guess you've never been to Loretto, Culiacan, Manzanillo, Zacatecas, Torreon, Hermosillo. About the only mainline jets you'll see in those place are Mexican.

EDITED for grammar thanks to Herc

whats an "online" mainline jet?

and I think you could easily see mainline aircraft flying into at least 3 of those 9 airports. The others would be suspect certainly.

Haha...I meant "only". Previous post edited Honestly, about the only place I'd expect to see mainline aircraft would be Mazatlan and Acapulco just because the yields on those routes are fairly low.

To answer the original question....the routes that will be flown by DCI will be flown by XJT. Because of UA's hub at LAX, SKW cannot fly routes for them and DL out of the same airport, except for LAX-SLC.

I am pretty sure United just gave up their exclusivity agreement in LAX for Skywest as a result of the deal to trade 18 EMB-120's for 18 CRJ-700's, and 4 CRJ-200's for CRJ-700's.
