I know there was a deal in the works sometime last year, but it seemed to fall apart at the last minute? Anybody know the details on why the deal fell apart?
Ugh, well long story short, they wanted us to fly some 200s that were parked out in the desert opening a Detroit crew base and possibly a cvg one too. Pretty much everything was set in principle. Now being I wasn't there I don't know for sure except from what was told from some higher ups. Pretty much it had some pretty stiff language about how we were to operate. More or less we had to jump through rings of fire day in and day out or face some penalties in terms of on time performance Etc Etc etc and the Company told them to go take a hike. Basically delta wanted a contract that would run us into the ground and our owners were smart enough not to sign. Was it a good choice. To a lot of people no, we will know in the next year or so.
