Delta/Skywest cuts in SLC

[WAVIT Inbound]

this is nothing more than a rumor but from what I've heard delta told us that if and when they merge they will be shutting down SLC

For what it's worth I have heard the exact opposite.

No not really, just stuff I have heard around the crew room and on the job. Where did you hear it would close? I just can;t see it happening. If anything closes I think it would be Memphis and CVG. SLC seems to be to important of a feeder. Nothing else near for either airline. LAX would primarily be a international hub. Just my opinion. Any other thoughts?

Folks, lets get real here. No one knows anything. Not even the CEOs know whats going to happen. And those idiots that write those stupid articles for the newspapers and other aviation gurus. The know even less then we all do on this flightinfo. Lets wait and see but I do know that SLC isn't closing.

Everyone is friends with someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows a check airmen who heard from a lead maintenance inspector who heard from the chief pilot's secretary who overheard the VP of something whispering to some other VP that "xxxxx is goin to happen!"

SLC closes? And where do all routes going into SLC go? I gotta call Bull on this one.

If Delta/NWA pulled the plug on SLC they would in effect be abandoning the entire west coast. Should they actually do this it would automatically trigger SKYW contingency plan 3C5 option 2 whereby SKYW would immediately acquire the Alaska Air Group to form a west coast powerhouse backed by an exclusive fuel purchase agreement secretly negotiated with Hugo Chaves; Jet A1 for 25 cents per gallon. I know this to be true as I negotiated the deal myself through my myspace account while on a layover in SFO last week.
