Delta to Discontinue Mesaba Florida Saab Flying

[SEVEN]

I gotta feeling Daddy Delta isn't too impressed with our pink Saabs. They keep closing one city after another. Hey General, what's up with Anderson? Doesn't he have any love for the Saabs?
Also another Saab Reduction Notice posted today...gotta love Fridays!!

The sign in ATL says it all "FLY DELTA JETS".

Didn't see this coming. </bleedingsarcasm>

Didn't they just start in Florida?

If it's not making money for them they're going to get rid of it...

Delta hates props!

Lets not forget mesaba has 17 CRJ-200's that I would expect to get cut any day. Going into the fall weak flying season. The perfect storm is lining up for Mesaba... If your not in the top 500 I'd say your in BIG trouble of being furloughed once all the Saabs and 200 are gone?

Ooooooohhhhhh.... the sky is falling. Is it such a surprise that DL (a business, in it to make money) is getting rid of routes that aren't profitable? The announcement clearly stated that the FL state government wanted DL to discontinue the service because the subsidies were costing too much.

As for the -200s, that's pure speculation. All we can do is take one kick at a time and not get worked up over what hasn't even happened yet. I'm still numb from 6 of the last 8.5 years.

What ever happened to the "Premiere Regional Airline for Delta?" I warned you not to get to wound up about it. Delta will not sue itself if they decide to breach the contract with Mesaba.
