We are "re-branding" the airline..who knows how much this is going to cost. New logos, possibly new wings etc.

seems this was only reasonable response...

I had heard they were looking at a potential merger/purchase of compass as well as a rebranding. I would welcome a new type on property as who knows where the UA/CO merger will take the scope restrictions. Could be a potential market there for 175/195 in the future.

we definitely need to grow to keep our costs low in comparison..

If you purchase CPS, you get the flow! It survives a acquisition. Might be how they opted to help you guys flow. Add to it they should have their own MEC by this fall.

Doubt it. Delta is doing all they can to resist that flow, and I, for one, don't want it anyway. "Flow" goes both ways, up and down...

Yep-

I don't see the ASA MEC going for that type of a flow-it ain't a good deal.

Why can't the reverse be true. what if Compass bought ASA? Rumors of Delta buying ASA back have circulated for years....

Starting in 2012 I think DAL retires 800 per year until 2018 or so. Flow would be a good thing.

There may actually be something to this, but it may not mean a new name.
