Yes I&#39;m a little worried with the DL/NW merger. I work for ASA and 19 of our cities have been overlapped. Bids have been put in and already word of AVL being switched to Comair. With more of ASA routes being lost and given to other carriers spefically Mesaba and Pinnacle its not a good time...not to mention DL not giving us any CR9s...[/b]

Delta has given skywest plenty of CR9s. It&#39;s up to Skywest to send them down the line. We(OH) actually have a few CR9s, but all our orders plus 1 plane just entering service have been taken away from us. ASA has plenty of CR7s, just worked one today NxxxCA(another Comair bird taken away by Delta). ASA&#39;s not getting any new planes(I don&#39;t think) but they&#39;re not getting their planes taken away. I think ASA is in good shape and will survive this merger just fine. I really hope the same holds true for Comair.

I&#39;m still waiting on my fantasy of DL ordering OH 175 Embraer 175s. Yea, I&#39;m dreaming.
