http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/TheDirt/24062 Delta plans to cutback flights from Meadows Field to Salt Lake City, airport officials said today. The airline will cancel one of its two daily flights in June as part of a nationwide downsizing, said Meadows Field marketing manager Teresa Hitchcock. &ldquo;We're fortunate to only have lost one flight. Some communities have lost services altogether,&rdquo; Hitchcock said. While Delta is scaling back, United has added a second daily flight from Meadows Field to Denver. Flights now depart Bakersfield daily at 6 a.m., and 2 p.m., Hitchcock said. &ldquo;Airlines are not in expansion mode right now so (the Denver flight) has to be doing very well,&rdquo; Hitchcock said.

I'm sure they'll drop out of this market before too long, if they don't merge with Northwest or somebody. The airline industry business model is mostly broken and it's not going to get better with higher fuel prices.</p> http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/TheDirt/24062/#c_219780 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/TheDirt/24062/#c_219780 <p>Delta's fares are ridiculously high compared to their competitors, no less.
