I just wanted to know if anyone knew when we will start seeing some 747s in ATL and maybe 767s returning to PDX

Cross-fleeting starts end of March/ 01 April. Hope the date is not any indication of things to come.

Yep. the 744 is doing a second ATL-NRT frequency next month as well as taking over the HNL flying from ATL. In the next few months you will see a lot of cross fleeting out of NYC, BOS, ATL, MSP, DTW, and SEA. DAL-S will also be doing AMS-BOM which was a 330 and now will be an ER.
All of this will continue to the first major AE which is scheduled no sooner than March of 2010 that will then mix pilots.

Comair starts flying Airlink lines out of MSP on the 1st. By June 1st we'll be flying Airlink lines out of DTW, MEM, and MSP. Mesaba will be flying DCI lines out of SLC, MCO, and ATL.

Yep, even the CPO's were talking about the fact that there will be many more commuters this time next year.

I am planning to non-rev LGW-ATL next week. It is a DL flight operated by a NW 330. As a NW employee, how do I passride on this...e-pass via NW or buy a paper ticket on DL? How about listing? List with NW or DL? I apologize if this has been discussed before...

It is considered a DL flight so you must use a paper ticket. You will also travel below any DL employees....

Really, that does not make much sense. I figured you guys went on your priority on NWA flts.

MSP-CDG was terminated due to high fuel costs on the 333 last fall. Every time I looked it up there were around 200 or so booked out of 298. It starts up again as NW762 operated by Delta on April 1st using a 767-300 ER. The wait list in PARS uses NWA nonrev travel codes. It'll be interesting seeing DAL a/c parked at the G concourse in MSP. The 76 is the right airplane for that route though since it has 80 or so fewer seats.
