I worked for Delta before being laied off, I worked in Ops and if I remember correctly, Delta buys fuel in bulk...so, the high cost of fuel cannot be the answer why Delta is losing money.....They need to get rid of most of the management; there is no need for "Senior President" or "Senior Vice President" and so forth,they also need to forfit the bounus checks and take a pay cut. That alone would save the company close to 5-6 million a year if not more. Cut the fleet in half buy selling the M88/M90 and lose the 732.
Selling ASA and Comair would give them more cash flow but they can also sell just one of the DCC and keep the other in case they do file for Chapter 11. So, that basiclly could give DL close to 2 billion in cash flow to stay afloat......
SkyWest could beifit from either or, with ASA a presents into ATL with routes into FLA that are not serviced on the United side and a few other cities. Comair would give us two extra hub in CVG and MCO with those routes and the jets.......
Who knows what will happen......
