Doesn't make sense that Delta pulls out of its most profitable station, Hilton Head. ATL will have a prop with a widget on the tail really soon to replace the current fleet of ATRs. I doubt ASA would get the Q 400, their heavy mntc reps in mcn and yul are very opposed to the airplane, citing its more expensive than the current atrs. Those opinions could justify a higher bid price than other carriers when it comes to the RFP out for Delta's prop flying. Its already out there.
Delta will contract that out to the lowest bidder, probably Colgan with Dash-8-400s. They already have a new relationship with Pinnacle (who now flies CR9s for us), the owner of Colgan. ASA will continue to shrink.
