Not saying that the switch to DoCo is the sole reason for the spiralification, but it could be a contributing factor. I'm sure both DoCo and Delta don't want things going sideways during the first year of a 10 year contract. Right?
For airports like LAX and SFO, the bulk of the catering op's would be for the international flights where every seat gets a meal (often more than one). The fact that many of these international flights have yet to return or are running with light loads would be the major contributor to the layoffs. DL FC cabin catering out of these airports would be relatively minor in comparison.
