Profits to managers, pilots not so much. Our scope ship has sailed, sailing. When those ER's start timing out, get ready for the coup de gras. UAL has west coast based 787, 747, and 777 pilots because they have a real network, with real airplanes. I know people there way, way junior to me living the dream. Scope was important. We F'd it up.
Ual has 747 787 777
Dal has 747 330 777 787 on order
Real airplanes
When our ers start timing out in 2020 they will be replaced by 787 whose orders were deferred to 2020
Do you see China Eastern flying from China to billings Montana? So why do you think we would be successful flying Seattle to a non major city in China? what airplane do we have right now that can expand into Asia? Could it be possible that we might start testing these markets with the 50 plus wide bodies we have on order from 2017-2022 - 350,330 neo 787
Also you said profits managers not us, did you not collect a profit sharing check last year?
Delta is not perfect, but I just don't think we are as far off as everyone thinks we are. And we have a ton less regional jets than American and United
