    Owned, past tense. Delta sold the name rights to Western, sometime under the dictatorship of that idiot Mullin.

    Really? I never knew LAX was a Delta hub.
    It was until Mullin came along, who dismantled the LAX hub completly with the exception of HNL, OGG and GDL. Everything else were just other DL hubs and focus cities. Grinstein is now bringing the LAX hub back to life.

        Though probably less than what DL could have gotten at a time when the planes for this new Western Airlines actually started up, not a decade before.

            The real Western Airlines was excellent. I remember their DC-10's in LAX.

              Delta bought Western in 1985. They bought specific routes from Pan Am in the late 80's/early 90's.

              Delta did not buy Eastern's ATL hub. Delta already had an extensive hub operation in ATL alongside Eastern. Eastern was in the C and D concourse, while Delta was in A and B. It was only after Eastern collapsed that Delta took some of it's hub operation and moved it from outstations back to ATL.

                Actually, Delta and Eastern shared B. Delta had B South, Eastern had B North (And built the tunnel between their gates on B North and Concourse C). Delta had A. Concourse D was for the other airlines like Republic, Piedmont, Northwest, United, American, etc.
