SLCDA and Delta came to an agreement to reduce /freeze connecting capacity during the TRP. Because the south end of the E gates are gone, there isn't really any place to put the high volume of regional jets. The airport is still growing but they came to an agreement to upgrade many routes to mainline and reduce connecting growth as much as possible to reduce strain on the airport. SLC is Delta's fastest growing fortress hub and it's fastest growing O/D market. It is still growing but growth is on hold somewhat until 2020 and much of the growth is coming from upgauging CRJ routes to aircraft like E175 and 737-7/A319.
