Considering DAL is reducing capacity in '09 I really don't think the mainline fleet is going to grow. So the 120 76 seat a/c scope in the JPWA will prevent any of that.

Current(as of this spring) 76 seat operators for DAL
ASA - 10*
Commair - 13
Skywest - 19
Shuttle(RAH) - 8
Mesaba - 41*
Compass - 36
Pinnacle - 10
--------
137
17 need to go away or have seats pulled.

Nothing like useless rumors fabricated by 900 fo's

The Pinnacle numbers you quoted seem to be off, according to the Delta website: Delta Connection® Carriers information at delta.com

Pinnacle Airlines</STRONG>
Pinnacle Airlines will operate out of Atlanta with 16, 2-class CRJ-900s.

So what does that do to the numbers needing to "go away"?

Isn't there also a 3 to 1 ratio from mainline DL VS DCI? If so then there should be more 76's now because of NWAs fleet. If DCI is gonna take a hit for NWAs regional flying then aren't they also counting NWAs mainline planes? Asking not making a statement.

I don't know if the numbers on DL is right because ASA doesn't do Mexico anymore. Could be out of date.

It's a good thing I stocked up with beer in my raft because I'm going to be floating in the big pond for some time .

I think we all are, brother. That being said, did anyone in the Feb 2 class receive their phone call job offer on or before 11/23?

Pretty sure this site is out of date. I'm thinking this is probably the last page updated when a change occurs in the DCI world. I wouldn't go by this site. But then again...what do I know?

The message is a little cryptic...but I'm sure you're right.
