Well, it depends on the definition of "we". I've learned that in management's eyes, "we" means Delta, or Delta Connection, or Alaska, or Air France, or any domestic or foreign airline that is or would like to become part of Delta's ticket brokering business. As long as you will add to Delta's bottom line,"Welcome aboard, and here's some flying to get you started."

So using that definition, I guess "we" are growing, somewhere. The AE's sure don't show it, though. At least at Delta mainline, where I work.

(Well, actually, I thought I worked at mainline, until RA told the investors that 76 seaters are mainline jets. Are those coming out on the next AE? And if not, how is that not intentional misleading during a briefing regulated by the SEC?)
