Finally (again) you mean!
Wait ATL-SBA?
Doesn't really matter, Delta is way late to the party in SBA. WN has jumped in and all of the majors are flying mainline. Delta will either have to compete on price, or fly empty aircraft into a very competitive market. Maybe they should try SBP.

Interesting. Somebody at SBA ran right out and updated their web site.

And of course the new simplified SkyMiles will attract zillions of Central Coast passengers to Delta.

DL just started 2X/day CLT-SLC only fairly recently (flips and flops between a 738 and 321), and CLT is only 90 minutes' drive from GSP. I realize I'm applying logic to an airline, and DL in particular, but if DL is only getting 2X/day flights from a much larger market, why would they add something that is probably lower demand from a smaller market? DL is fixing to get essentially all of the expanded A concourse in CLT next year, allegedly with a SC, so if anything I think DL is going to be expanding in CLT and keeping GSPers to the east side of the Mississippi River.
