The upcoming Delta Connection shuffle.
I have been hearing from a variety of sources that Delta is in the process of doing quite a bit of realigning of the DCI carriers. Especially in light of the DCA-LGA slot swap. At Compass we are looking at a lot more SLC and western flying. I hear Go Jets is probably going to be DTW and or NYC. And that even SkyWest will have a NYC. Has anyone heard anything definitive?

Is DAL smart enough to actually factor this in? Who knows.
It also prevents any single regional from completely "owning" a hub or route in the event of a strike.

This sort of churn is actually beneficial for DAL in the long run...uprooting crews encourages major-eligible CA's to bail instead of settling into a comfortable situation to become expensive and pesky regional lifers.

True but it causes immense additional costs and delays/cancelations by pulling a company so far from its crew/maintenance bases. Now if Delta wants to operate in a much more expensive way for the sake of avoiding a strike that hasn't even come close to happening since Comair in 01.... Well no wonder the passengers see right through the customer first B.S. they have been peddling.

The way Delta treats their regionals may be "good business sense", but it's also deplorable.
