Could the Republic/Frontier/Lynx announcement mean something for Delta?

Smarter than you obviously. And as far as being unpopular, this aint no popularity contest. Are you trying to be popular on an anonymous web board? You might need to be the next guest on Dr. Phil. You obviously don't know much about Delta or ASA, or any of the DCI carriers. Delta still wants to find "the right fit" for each route, and the ATRs were good but getting old. Delta has looked at the Dash-8-400, and probably likes it. There are plenty of routes around the hubs that could use a Dash-8-400 rather than a 50 seat RJs (or even a 70/76 seater). It would be more fuel efficient, and looking at the lower pay generally---more cost efficient--in Delta management's eyes. That is the key. I am not advocating less pay and benefits, rather I am trying to figure out what management MIGHT do. That is what happens sometimes on anonymous forums. I see that you might fly for ASA, and I can see why you don't even want to think about what might replace your beloved ATR. This is a sign of the times, and scope is important.(we have learned that over the years, and hopefully are hardening ours for the future) Comair went for the pay during their last contract, and neglected scope--and we now have a flood of DCI carriers. Expect to see more of that---and at the lowest cost, unfortunately.

ASA does not fly ATR's anymore.

Don't expect Gen Lee to do anything but be a walking, talking blow-job... He has no courtesy, no sense of common decency, in general no redeeming qualities.

-Fits the mold.

Thanks Dad. Wow, I must really be spot on because it bugs the heck out of you. That makes me feel FANTASTIC. Keep it going fryguy.

Correct. I was saying that type of flying could be replaced by Dash-8-400s, maybe from LYNX. Right now DL replaced the ATR flying with Saabs, and Mesaba is now talking about parking some SAABs. So, one could conclude that a cheaper group could come in and take some of that flying with a plane that actually makes sense on certain routes. I don't think any of our regionals in DCI have their own scope clauses that preclude that. Remember, DCI carriers are feed, and can be replaced.


Bye Bye--General Lee
