Gee, I can't find that C-series rate anywhere, and I'm missing the point of loading up on wide body aircraft while Europe takes a massive dump on the global economy.

As I see it, the trend was towards moving block hours (and jobs) from DCI to DAL. I think that's a good idea, even if it does mean more overnights in Fargo for me. I want ALL Delta flying done by Delta pilots.

The mainline block hour ratio needs to be tightened again, or we will risk being overextended during a downturn. They could start parking mad dogs, and still be in compliance because we were too lazy to crank up the MBH ratio.
