I strongly disagree. dl has great service on this route,was 3x daily to MEM, now going all 3x to atl. I recall there being a backstop subsidy for DL but they never needed it as business has been strong. But I highly doubt this region can support both DL and AA, and thus i disagree with the AA subsidy.
