unlike some airlines, DL actually does have quality control procedures for its contractors.
that might be why DCI carriers have the best on-time and completion data of the big 3 US carriers.
further, as with most of your pulled out of your backside hypotheses, there really is no information that you have that ExpressJet doesn't provide good performance for DL, now is there?
btw, I mentioned a long time ago that DL could choose to have blurred lines between the rest of ExpressJet's operations and access to DAL.
Like you, I have no proof of that but at least there isn't any public proof that is available while your hypothesis can be readily tested based on public data - and shown to be not substantiated.

precisely.
DL is at DAL AND DFW for the same reason that DL serves both MDW and ORD - because both cities have two airports and which are also joined as a common market. there is a benefit in being able to serve both. DL's performance in every market it serves from ORD and MDW in common as well as HOU/IAH show it.
DL is simply not willing to allow any competitor to serve DL hubs w/o being willing to fight despite the inability of some people here to understand the concept of defending one's key markets.
and the 717s are more than twice the size of the 50 seaters that DL previously used. It isn't just a slight increase in seats which is also why DL's boardings at DAL for Nov were up by over 100% - a greater increase than UA and WN.

UAX is operating 7 trips a day, DL is operating 5.
Looking at the schedule, they do manage to get everything in and out of one gate, but there's not a lot of room for error:

"Delta Flights Matter" and I'm sure he'll lead the organizations in picketing if they ever lose the gates at DAL.

That's gonna be one crowded jetbridge with 2 a/c at the same time. I'm sure they will need someone on the jetbridge to direct passengers to the correct a/c. Just added expense.Kev3188 said:
