Well, DP can't keep pouring money into a black hole forever. Would make sense to do what FedEx did in Europe a few years back, dump the domestic and concentrate on international to/from major business centers. It would also give them the chance to dump what was, in a recent article, called 'the less than friendly ally' and they didn't mean Astar.
Pure speculation on all sides at the moment but, rumour has it, look for an announcement early March unless media pressure brings it forward.
