I've just heard this rumor as well. Big announcement coming this week supposedly. Guess ASA's 80% clause is going out the window.....

Seriously doubt that.....

No, but heard one of the senior colgan pilots bumped into the vp of operations in LAX. He didn't say exactly what he was doing there but it had to do with United.

I'd love to hear the 'logic' on how you arrived at that assumption...

That would be very bad...

It was just a guess. With PCL, SKW, CMR, Shuttle America down here Im thinking its already pushing it. Now this "rumor" if true sounds like a significant number of Qs coming to ATL. Doubt Delta would award just 3 or 4 planes worth of flying out of ATL.

I think any new turboprop should go to ASA. We're losing all of our ATRs with no replacements. We've worked hard as hell to drastically improve our performance. Colgan getting awarded Q flying would be nothing short of them undercutting.

Plus, isnt Delta supposed to be reducing DCI operators? Unless they count PCL/Colgan as one.
