Bar, I get what your saying but northwest is our mainline example that it didn't happen to them and shouldn't happen to us. Seems like fear mongering. Hopefully that negative attitude is why he is the former mec chair. Seems like he was speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Rj's threaten mainline flying if we outsource to the regionals and they threaten mainline flying if we insource them. I say bullspit!! We know outsourcing killed our domestic mainline flying and we also know dc9's are good for us.

I would hope he feels the same way whether its a 747 into NRT or a CRJ900 into SLC.

It is a lone 763 that leaves at 15:15. We also codeshare on two AF B772 flights that leave at 1755 and 2330.
According to Travelnet the total number of Delta mainline flights from ATL to JFK on 4/16/2012 is 1.It is a lone 763 that leaves at 2040. We codeshare on 5 other JFK-CDG flights which are on a AF 332, 772, 388, 343 and a 772.
By the way, what was wrong with Orly? I wouldn't imagine a whole lot of AF/KLM passengers are connecting on us via a 763 when there are so many super premium AF flying back and forth? I realize though it got us into LHR though. Open question to anyone: What I don't understand is if AF/KLM pilots are paid better than us then why are we not flying more than they? I thought pilot pay was the lone factor in determining if a flight gets outsourced or is that just when it comes to RJs?

And what I mean is if network was in full control and everything was at mainline.
