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.
We all want that. Unfortunately with the JV+equity virtual merger that is not and will not be the case.

Delta is and will continue to be fantastically profitable but we will be unable to capture that value via rate increases. Profit sharing is the next generation compensation model. Like it or not, this is the new reality.
