The call came out today. Not too bad, no real kool-aid or anything. He was just putting it out there that he's new and "appreciates our hard work." He said he knows a lot of people will be away from their families on Thanksgiving and he'll be roaming the airport Thursday as well to show his support for the employee group and a thank you.

He did mention Delta's latest announcement about domestic pull downs in 1Q09 but said that Delta hasn't given any indication of a reduction in our hours yet... which I believe. (Of course, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what they are thinking.)

Maybe I'm to much of an optimist, but perhaps if Delta manages to win the court case against Freedom, that flying disappears altogether and thats the domestic reduction? We aren't going to see any additional hours out of it, but maybe that will save us from further loss (temporarily, anyway.)
