Bingo. If people would actually read the memos put out, they would have read from Crew Resources & Steve Dickson that Jan & Feb would have the highest YOY decrease in block hours & therefore it would very slow. The company is taking advantage of this to install lie flat seats, economy comfort seats, & train for summer flying. This last AE was a 365 day conversion window, but they plan on having all training done by May.
Oh, & did anyone else notice that Delta is forecasted to make a $1 billion profit for the year of 2011? Considering the massive tsunami in Japan which caused a horrific nuclear meltdown, the ridiculous snowmegeddon in ATL, the East Coast blizzard, the East Coast hurricane, & the global economy teetering everyday, that profit is amazing. And it's happening with fuel prices over $100 per barrel.
Nothing is certain in this industry. That's the only thing that is guaranteed.
