How is the situation now? Have they made progress getting the airplanes back online?

I don't know about that. All I know is there is a very large portion of the ASA maintenance hanger dedicated to engine work full on ASA Techs. You could be right though.

DAL only maintains the engines off wing. The airlines MPM for the aircraft type is responsible for the inspections. DAL usually only does the off wing work. On wing is the operator’s responsibility. Maintenance tracking is always a function of the operator unless they have a special agreement with DAL.

So apparently we sent 5 aircraft and crew from the SkyWest side to help cover the flying for a couple of days...I'm sure we have more airframes and pilots sitting around in SLC than that alone?

Me too. Strangely enough I was delayed taking off twice because a Coyote was running around in front of us.

You guys can have some of Comair's extra planes. We sure aren't using them.
