Did anyone save that video? I didn't get to see it before DL went all Hillary Clinton on it.

I watched it. Also know people that were there that comfimed what was said. It was clear (not the video quality). But we all know that things change faster then what they say... so in the end. They have started a consolidation plan with ASA leaving. So it is believable they want to pair down there partners. How fast it happens who knows...

Hey I heard Mesa likes the West Coast too as they have a 175 program too.

That's not a rumor. Delta has straight up said it. It's on video. I've seen the video. They straight up said GoJet will be done next year and it'll be down to SkyWest, Endeavor and Republic.

Right now we're all collectively talking out of our as*es so there isn't one. Allegedly during or following a base meeting this week. We just had our earnings call and OO always makes these types of announcements in the 2 weeks afterwards.

It's already coming up to 4:30pm MT, no announcements no nothing. I suspect there never was anything to be announced yet. As others have alluded to, we can't even staff what we have adequately let alone take on more.

It's a still a rumor until Delta or someone else officially announces it. I've flown DL Connection planes for 12 years and can think of numerous occasions of when the CEO or someone said this or that, only to officially announce something totally opposite. Yes, I'm jaded, but don't be surprised if the rumor turns out to be completely different.
