Yes, it is 100 flights or more a day but for one exception: Seattle. Here is the language: “Delta hub” means ATL, CVG, DTW, JFK, LAX, LGA, MEM, MSP, SLC, and any other airport having a monthly average of at least 100 Delta scheduled flight departures per day. Exception: SEA is not a Delta hub, regardless of the number of scheduled flight departures.
Next I like that they are looking to continue to build SEA as a hub. Maybe they can add a narrow body here so me and about 30+ others I know (A and B alike) that live here can finally drive to work instead of commute before we retire. Yes it's about us and would be nice
Or maybe that 138% increase of flying on the ER they have 5 months out of the year they can keep half of that here instead of say ATL?
Sorry rant over, back to booking the jumpseat to get home to and from work
Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm lucky enough to be based in Seattle and I say bring on any and all flying we can get! I would love to see a narrow body base here. I also know a lot of guys who would bid Capt and/or FO on it in a heartbeat. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
My comment was meant to point out the rather blatant exception that the company says on the one hand it's a hub and in the other that it's not.....I understand the reason is Sec. 1. O. 3. I just find it, shall we say........interesting.
