Please ask yourselves this question, why would the Mother D divest itself of all regional carriers a few years ago, then cease ops for Comair, and within a matter of months acquire another regional? Only one answer I can think of.
Then again, I am not sitting in ATL front office.

This is what I have feared all along even though I knew it was coming. Being owned by Delta will limit our growth opportunities and stagnate career progression immensely, no bueno.

It should also be interesting hearing Andersons comments on why they are getting back into the regional owning business when they have made it clear they want no part of it.

Or, and pncl has seen this before with RA and NW, the mainline carrier strips all value from its regional partner, buys them, builds them up, and cashes out.

If the TA passes, Delta isn't going to shutdown an airline with 12 year CA and 4 year FO payscales, meager payrates, and a 401k built to discourage lifers. They are going to use it to whipsaw the other DCI carriers.
