i see it as kindof a good thing.

they tried to drop Mesa and when that didn't work, they tried to drop PCL and that also doesn't seem to be working. the way delta is doing it is kinda underhanded which is why the regionals are fighting the drops. but it seems like they obviously want to drop some regional services to cut costs (again).
