Kiss the 200's good bye. Delta wants nothing to do with them and they can't get rid of them fast enough.

The thing that puzzels me the most is why would Delta bring Pinnacle out west? I can understand maybe for the MEM-SLC route but SkyWest is already in SLC....Is SkyWest becoming more of a burden to operate or are their costs becoming higher? It always seemed good ole' Jerry was a stickler for keeping cost low and know he would like to start doing at risk flying. It doesn't seem logical for Pinnacle to open a base in SLC, likewise with SkyWest in MEM or in ATL again or any kind of connection carrier being displaced but that is my thought but then again, airlines these days don't make sense.

Why do we even think there is going to be a shuffle?
I havent heard or seen anything indicating that there is going to be a major shift in flying yet. Most of the time, I hear that the "marketing hours" arent complete until half way thru the previous month...
This could be as minor as moving regional flying from JFK to LGA; and having more flights flown by mainline like DL is doing in ATL.
From a 9E perspective, MEM has barely any flying left as compared to what we used to fly there. I would be suprised to see MEM go but, I wouldnt be suprised to see us move to LGA from JFK - Or our union sign yet another LOA and screw us with a co-terminal base.
