DAL Chap 11?

[Pimpin']

I think Delta learned there lesson in DFW, and won't grow connection. I also think the same thing is going on in PIT, with USair.

Connection's growth had little to do with the demise of DFW. If anything it prevented it from happening a year ago.

PSA started taking delivery of their new regional jets once USAir came out of the first bankruptcy in March of 2003, not while they were still in.

Thats what I had thought originally....although I wish chperplt were right.

Furloughed!

Horrible analogy... PSA acquired numerous new jets after U filed Ch 11. It wasn't until the SECOND Ch 11 that the financing was pulled. There is plenty of money to be had while in BK.

zzzzzz.... huh? wha? yup. I was in the last class at PSA, first to get the furlough notice. If DAL files I would guess that there will be at the very least a delay in any new jets going to COM or ASA. I do think that ASA will be more conservative in the number of pilots they bring on board if that is a realistic possibility. In 25 years of business ASA hasn't furloughed. (please correct me if that info is wrong).

What purpose would the sale of ASA or COM serve to the long term DAL? I would think that long term they are better off with the connections carriers. Perhaps short term they need to reduce debt but wouldn't it make sense to do that from the areas of the company that are losing money anyway? Everything I've heard indicates that COM and ASA are money makers.

[QUOTE=homerjdispatch]Heard that SKYW secured financing of 1 BILLION dollars to acqui

Are you referring to Skyway or SkyWest?

 

[SkyBoy1981]

Skywest I'm sure. Skyway buying ASA would be like Spirit buying Southwest. This is assuming that this rumor has any truth at all.....which very few rumors on here do.
