There are some here who think I am anything but naive when it comes to air carrier management.

I have been to Area 51 but never to the highly guarded sub basement office of Delta Strategic Long Range planning where there is a theater sized screen displaying the "big picture." It cycles through power point slides of Management decisions that benefit Delta . The decision makers all sit around smoking Havana cigars, drinking expensive booze and planning their next bonus check while surfing nets like this for "ideas." An inside source told me that Slide # 463A1(b)(2) shows they are considering your most recent "realistic" suggestion (another thread) of,

" I think Deltoid is rightsizing Mesaba and Comair for the upcoming merger."

Just kidding. Hope your pool number gets called eventually and you can move from Comair but continue your association with Deltoid.
