All of the talk of new pilots and that need will probably be off the table until then. In fact, without that flying we have a sizable surplus for the summer.
Not saying what is going to happen, but the deck was taken back from the dealer, he took out the Aces and will make delta change their game plan. We will see how DAL deals with this.
I am more concerned about the LGA stuff that I ever was about the JAL and NRT issues.
the potential increase in flying for us is nothing compared to the reigonals that were expecting to see increased flying. Also I suspect the company will move forward with something in regards to the slot swap but I expect them to fight this latest uber fail the gubment is trying to pull.
gotta love this industry full of drama......if its not one thing its another. Fortunately the pax loads seem to be recovering so its going to a busy summer either way. Things have already been tight and its not even spring break yet.
