Since the buyout of WESTERN AIRLINES by DL - What is left?

I can only think of one thing. The SLC hub. WHAT ELSE???

And most of the SLC hub is now SkyWest flts.

DL seems to have given up on West Coast to West Coast flts on DL metal.

I remember some Western Airlines slogans: "It's the oooooonly way to fly!" Spoken by the Wally Bird. And the best - "the champagne airline" because champagne was offered free of charge.

I also remember WA (WAL) flts from LAX to LAS. I believe it was $15 on the last flt to LAS and the same on the 6am flt back to LAX. You could go to LAS for 4-5 hours. $30.00 total. Free champagne both ways in Y. The FA's would just stroll the 40 min flight filling glasses. Bubbly both ways. Just remembering the good old days.

AGAIN, WHAT IS LEFT (besides the SLC hub) OF WESTERN AIRLINES?
