AS(Alaska) soon. waiting, but in process. Buddies over there are getting very worried. I say why, DAL gets more benefit from not owning them, but it does open up a large section to our route network to attack
JAL should be oursthere is still blood in the water
100 seater shortlythere is movement on this, but not worth starting a food fight over. The JAL/Aisa deal takes more priority and threw it on the back burner--delayed the decision
new wide bodiesin process
base closureER in CVG announced rebound has saved the rest temporarily. MEM is doing the RJ thing like DFW did, be wary
one if not two new base openings in 2010. One has been pushed in to 2011, might still happen this year as it depends on one of the above, and the other depends on one of the other ones above
Old base will be getting lots of flights soonsee above and is dependent on one of the other items not listed above.
Short order means months to years, not days to weeks which is normally the attention span of a pilot. Water is calm on top, but do not dive down to far because the current will kick you butt. Things have been quiet for a reason!

Trust me when I state, that there is a lot coming down the pike. If you have been here long enough you know that things ebb and flow. The announcement a few weeks ago need to be dealt with as many of the rumored plans were based upon some of this stuff.

That is all I will say. Back to RJ bashing.
