You guys were bidding that EAS stuff, could this be a pull out to get cheaper rates? I don't know I am not that involved just throwing out all options. I think they should keep that saabs over the brazilias though.
Not sure how they'd get cheaper rates.
As for keeping the Saab over Brazilia, my guess is look at who has what... Skywest, strong air services contract with a non-union employee group (and just look at the merger to see Delta's opinion of unions) Mesaba, wholly owned so no air services contract with pilot, FA, and mech unions.
I am not sure how Delta is getting out of the Saab leases since they were renegotiated with Saab during the bankruptcy to last til 2012 ( very conviently the same as the pilot contract, any guesses why that was done )
