The LAX operation never did make any sense for ASA! 80% of their operation flies out of ATL and you have to get aircraft to LAX via SLC and rotate those aircraft into Maint every week! Oh, and the Maint bases for ASA: BTR and MCN!

ASA has meet the Delta performance standards every month sense being sold - but when you operate in and out of ATL, the most diverse aviation environment of the nation, numbers are tough. When comparing ASA's ATL numbers to Delta ATL numbers - they are pretty close. But Delta's numbers look better because they have numerous cities to fly into vs, ASA's 80% out of ATL!
