Yea I read it was delayed and not cancelled, I think DAL will cut some EMB-135s as I did hear that they are no longer going to use the jungle jet for DCI flying. ASA flies to some Po-dunk cities anyhow, and if DAL wants to expand internationally out of JFK, they are going to need feeders, e.g. Comair, CHQ, Freedom (eek).

It would be nice if they trimmed Freedom's routes lol since they seem to underbid everyone.

The 135's are already scheduled on thier way out at the end of '08, Bedford has said he already has buyers for the entire fleet.

This is why they'll probably be the last ones to be trimmed.

I'm sorry but, does this kind of give anyone a feeling of unease? I'm an ASA guy, fairly new, but I got a little seniority. Obviously if they are cutting flights then eventually they will start trimming the fat around the pilot groups as well as other employees. You always think, "someone's got to do the flying. People just have to fly." But I guess in this situation they are just cutting people off and leaving them without the option of flying. Then again, the average passenger was never really very loyal to the airlines themselves so screw em. Is it something to be worried about when it comes to job security or am I just over reacting?
