Delta extended the 145 flying for a few more years which completely disrupted the clown show in HQ. The plan was to staff the new flying with displaced 145 pilots. Oops. Anyways, a rumor floating around here is that Mother Delta is doing this on purpose to allow BB to choke on the ashes of this continuing failure which will give Delta the right to immediately terminate the contract. In my limited world view, that seems plausible. Delta is pretty ruthless when dealing with their feeders.

If anything, the bulk of those new airplanes are for their competition. It'll at least continue to disrupt the United network at the very least. Maybe Delta has reached their breaking point with Republic. But wouldn't it be easier for them to terminate the contract if they just flat-out didn't meet the performance requirements?

You need to take a step back and think outside of the SkyWest cult

Not their competition on a regional level. Remember, Republic has 50 new planes (net gain of 20) coming for United. There are like 6 new ones coming for Delta. By Delta extending the 145's until 2020+, that ruins BB's staffing strategy. If the bulk of the new flying is coming for United, by Delta stepping in, most of that additional flying will be a colossal failure.
