- Flew 76,338 fewer block hours in 2009 than in 2008(20%)!
- Flew 2,867 more block hours this year than planned.
- Block hours planned for 2010, 16% less than 2009.
- 18% flying to transfer back to CVG over next six months.
- By July '10; percentage of "planned" flying will be: 42%/NE,
39%/CVG, 14%/DTW, 5%/Other.
- No MSP or ATL based flying planned for 2010
- 15 Lease returns for 2010 and 6 for 2011.
- Total projected fleet by end of 2011: 13/CR9, 15/CR7, 87/CRJ
- Down to 2,730 employees after latest furlogh and voluntary
reductions.
- Changing e-mail over from Groupwise to MS Outlook
- Comair not going anywhere or disappering as posted in Cincy
Enquirer
- Smaller Airline now focused solely on flying
- Continue to reduce costs more comaprable to peers
- Continue to do more with less.
- Leverage mainline resources and find synergies(yes they used the
DL magic word) with sister wholly owned.
- No growth..but aligning cost for future growth (as always!).
- All a/c will be painted in Gen 4 by Sep. 2010.
- Mx launched a/c interior improvement plan: Extensive and more
frequent interior cleaning.
- Increased frequency of exterior a/c washes

And last but not least; we were 15% more expensive than the other bidders for the UA RFP.
