IOW, no new news
I haven't asked anyone about A330's to ATL or JFK
Happy Thanksgiving
Some other rumors.
I'm stating a fact here: Open skies w Japan and JAL JV are separate issues.
- Rumor is that DAL/DALPA is trying to get DOT to delay open skies until after JAL JV issue is over (whether DAL or American is succesful). To me this seems backward, but that's the rumor.
rumor: SEA 76er won't happen this bid.
Talk amonst yourselves.
I've heard the same thing. Couple the 777s and 765 reduction in ATL with a displacement off the 757 and unless 330 flying comes here this will be a brutal AE for ATL. I just can't fathom not getting either additional 330s or 744s down here to replace that loss of lift.
