Ua waiho ʻo Delta Air Lines Inc. i kahi hoʻopiʻi hou i kāna hoʻāʻo mau e wāwahi i kahi ʻaelike me ka hui Delta Connection ʻo Mesa Air Group Inc.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mesa, ka makua o Connection carrier Freedom Airlines, i ka hoʻopiʻi kānāwai ma ka Pōʻalima ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo Delta i ka ʻaha hoʻokolokolo federal e ʻimi ana i ka hoʻoholo hoʻoholo e hoʻopau i ka ʻaelike e pili ana i ka "haʻihaʻi waiwai e Freedom," e like me ka waiho ʻana o ka US Securities and Exchange Commission.
I loko o nā mahina 18 i hala iho nei, ua loaʻa iā Delta kekahi mau hoʻopaʻapaʻa me nā hoa pili Delta Connection, a ua hoʻoholo ʻia kekahi o ia mau mea. ʻO Delta ka mokulele nui loa e lele ana mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Dayton.
ʻO ka hoʻopiʻi, i waiho ʻia ʻo ʻAukake 19, ʻo ia ka salvo hou loa i kahi kaua aelike ma waena o Delta a me Mesa.
"Ma hope o nā mahina o ka hana ʻana me ka manaʻo maikaʻi e hoʻāʻo e hoʻoholo i kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa pili kālā me Mesa, ʻaʻole naʻe i waiho ʻia mākou me ka ʻole o ke koho ʻana akā ke noi aku i kahi ʻaha e hoʻoholo i ka hōʻole ʻana o Mesa e hoʻohanohano i kāna mau kumu kūʻai aelike," wahi a ka waha ʻōlelo ʻo Delta Kristin Baur. he leka uila. "Manaʻo mākou e mālama ʻo Mesa a me Freedom i kā lākou mau ʻōlelo hoʻohiki iā Delta a me kā mākou mea kūʻai aku, a hiki i kēia manawa, ua hōʻole lākou e hana pēlā."
Ma ʻApelila 2008, ma hope o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o Delta e kūʻai iā Mesa mai kāna ʻaelike, a hōʻole ʻo Mesa, ua hoʻouna ʻo Delta i kahi leka iā Mesa e hoʻopau ana i ka ʻaelike e ʻōlelo ana ʻo ka pākēneka o ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā mokulele ma mua o nā palena aelike, e helu ana i nā mea i kapa ʻia ʻo coordinated cancellations, e like me nā palapala hoʻokolokolo. Ua lanakila ʻo Mesa i kahi kauoha mua e hoʻōki iā Delta mai ka ʻoki ʻana i nā pilina, a ua hōʻoia ka US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit i kahi kauoha mua i ka mahina i hala.
Manaʻo ʻia e hoʻokolokolo ʻia ka hihia ma hope o kēia makahiki.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mesa e koi ʻia i ka panakalupa inā ʻae ʻia ʻo Delta e hoʻopau i ka ʻaelike.
Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loiloi mokulele ʻo Delta, ʻoi aku ka nui o kona hui ʻana i ka makahiki i hala me Northwest Airlines, he ʻaelike me nā mea lawe aelike e lele i nā mokulele mokulele he nui. He mea maʻamau ke kumu kūʻai o nā mokulele mokulele ma nā kumukūʻai aila ma lalo o $50 no ka barela.
I ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai wahie i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Delta e ʻimi i kāna mau koho e hōʻemi i kāna helu o nā mea lawe ʻaelike. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Delta e hoʻopau i nā ʻaelike me Mesa Air Group a me Pinnacle Airlines Inc i ka makahiki i hala. Ua hoʻopau ʻo Delta a me ExpressJet Holdings Inc. i kā lāua ʻaelike ma 2008.
"ʻO ka haʻihaʻi mea i manaʻo ʻia e pili ana i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o Delta e hoʻokau i kekahi mau hōʻemi o ke kumukūʻai ma ke kūʻokoʻa," wahi a Phoenix, Ariz.-based Mesa i kāna faila SEC Pōʻalima. "Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei ʻo Freedom ʻaʻole pono nā ʻōlelo a Delta a he hana pololei ia e Delta e pale i ka ʻōlelo kauoha e pāpā ana iā Delta mai ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ʻaelike Hoʻohui ʻo Freedom, i kākoʻo ʻia e ka 11th Circuit Court of Appeals."
ʻAʻole i hoʻihoʻi koke ʻia kahi leka ma hope o nā hola no nā loio ʻo Atlanta.
Ma kahi ninaninau ma mua o kēia mahina, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lee Garrett, he loio me Jones Day e hōʻike ana iā Mesa, ʻo ka hana a Delta e pili ana i nā mea lawe aelike i hōʻike ʻia he pono e hōʻoki i ke kumukūʻai.
"Ke hoʻāʻo nei lākou e ʻoki i ka hiki [a] ke hoʻāʻo nei lākou e ʻoki i nā kumukūʻai a inā ʻoe e nānā i kā lākou hoʻopiʻi hou ʻana ʻaʻole lākou e ʻike i ka hapa lua maikaʻi o 2009," wahi a Garrett. "He mea wale no na bila dala."
E like me kāna lawelawe maʻamau, ua hōʻemi ʻo Delta i ka hiki a me nā hana ma kāna mau ʻāpana kūloko, Comair a me Mesaba.
Hoʻolālā ʻo Delta e ʻoki i ka mana ma waena o ka honua e 15 pakeneka, a ʻoki i ka nui o ka home ma ka 6 pakeneka i ka 8 pakeneka e hoʻomaka ana i kēia hāʻule, me nā hoa ʻo Delta Connection he ʻāpana o ka hoʻolālā. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia hoʻi e koi ʻia e haʻalele i nā limahana uku ma hope o nā tausani o nā limahana - me ka hoʻokele, nā pailaka a me nā kahu mokulele - ua haʻalele ʻoluʻolu i ka Delta hui a me Northwest mai ka hui ʻana i ʻOkakopa 2008.
Ma kahi o 23 pakeneka o ka loaʻa kālā kaʻa o Delta i ka makahiki 2008 mai nā mokulele āpana. Akā, ua hāʻule ka loaʻa kālā he 8 pakeneka i ka makahiki 2008 ma muli o ke kiʻekiʻe o nā kumukūʻai wahie a me ka hoʻolohi ʻana i ka noi.
Loaʻa a hoʻolimalima paha ʻo Delta i nā mokulele mokulele 287, ʻaʻole pū me nā haneli o nā mokulele kūloko i lele ʻia e nā hoa kūloko, e like me kāna waihona 10-K makahiki me ka Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ma kahi hihia ʻokoʻa, ke hakakā nei ʻo Delta i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana e SkyWest Inc. nona ka ʻoihana Delta kahiko ʻo Atlantic Southeast, ma luna o ka uku hou ʻana no kekahi mau hoʻopau lele.
