At any rate, I assume the JV is far less interesting to DL now that WS has slashed its route network. Maybe they'll start looking at a new type of partnership once the covid dust settles and WS figures out what kind of airline it wants to/ can afford to be? Before covid, WS had a strong presence across Canada, a tolerably ok network to/from the US and some Latin American sun destinations, and was expanding into Europe. Since the pandemic hit they've essentially gone halfway back to being just a western Canadian regional carrier. I doubt DL wants to spend the money to form a JV to funnel a dozen passengers a week from Atlanta to Calgary.
