What's your plan, ACL? And this time please don't flip-flop!
Big picture here Slow.
We DON"T want more Delta flying to be outsourced. I know that can be hard to get your head around, but that's the consensus in 99.9% of Delta cockpits.
If Delta can get in bed with JAL and we maintain our flying, that's great. Just don't want to see our flying erode on the "Heavy Metal" side of things as it has on the narrow body side.
