I'm not trying to open the his/yours/mine thing. I'm just wondering what I'm missing here. I guess maybe the excitement must stem from the lower positions it creates. I hate to give anything away, but if they cancel the 787 orders, I think DAL N guys should get some 777 replacements. Fair is fair. That's just the kind of guy I am. Ha
It might just be that you are mistaking S guys for N guys. Most of us N guys don't want to loose flying to the 777 but that is the companys decision not ours. 777 guys probably don't like giving up jfk-nrt and tlv either. Hopefully they have some really smart people in yield management and put the right planes on the right routes. My one big worry is that I'm not sure DAL knows how to max out cargo revenue. Many times on the 747 most of the people were gravy because of the cargo load.
