Freedom loses all 50 seat flying for Delta.

[Roger Dat]

Last Friday afternoon, Delta notified Freedom Airlines of the termination of the 50-seat, 34 aircraft Delta Connection operating agreement with them due to operational performance. Separately, Delta’s operating agreement with Freedom involving fourteen 76-seat aircraft remains intact

Is that like fired on the spot clean out your desk and get the @#$% out or is there a time line for phasing the lack of service out?

If true that reduction alone is more than the initial round of 50 seater cuts announced a few weeks ago. Also, if true that would be a great way for Delta to shed some RJ's without having to eat any additional contract termination penalty.

Damn! That means only PCL will remain below ASA for performance...

I'm thinking this is an early April Fool's joke.

Good reminder. Stand by for tomorrow's barrage of "reuters" fake stories. :laugh:

Looses?

Looses?

They can't all be Rhodes Scholars....

 

[Soverytired]

I'm fairly certain Delta is looking for any excuse to shed as much 50-seat flying as it can.

If that's what it takes to get a contract! Keep up the good work.

This is true or more fluff?

 

[~~~^~~~]

It is likely true. After all, Delta has figured out that it can sell it's Connection flying after SkyWest paid $425,000,000 for some.

I"ll see it when I believe it or when I hear a lot of Freedom guys complaining about being displaced.

 

[XPOO]

Did the go! pilot in Hawai'i raise his fists in the air over this as well?
