Mesaba Delta Saab Flying to Increase?
Recently heard from a reliable source that due to increasing fuel prices, Delta has reversed their position on the Saab flying. I also saw a post about this on FlightInfo. Rumor has it that Delta is not only going to keep the current Saabs (with Mesaba) but also increase their flying. Any truth to this?

Haven't found the Fly Delta Props sign...
