That's not far fetched at all. Look at the timing of everything. A couple Friday's ago you have RAH, publicly, state they are completely F'd and are reducing a lot of flights between all three partners. Stock tanks and I truly believe they are seeing the beginning of the end.

Now what happens, outside of any scheduled negotiating session, the following Monday? We now have a TA.

It's very clear they are lining something up. Delta would be the most likely player. Gonna get interesting around here again.

That's not a bad point. I guess I just didn't see delta giving us an offer that the owners would go for, something with "proper wording" that they didn't care for like last time.

I also heard the company wanted to get rid of the 4 oldest planes but American said no way. So there's something being worked out there as well. I've heard numerous times from several people that don't be surprised if delta comes back. They apparently hate the service they're getting from the other regionals because their performance sucks that bad. This may be a case of you get what you pay for. Either way I agree not too far fetched given the state of the regionals, our new ta, and our reputation to be top notch.

The iPad thing is imminent...even though we have heard that often...I keep hearing more mentions from people that matter, that this will be settled very soon.

The company leaders have been talking up our performance a lot and like what has been mentioned above...juxtaposed with the suckitude of the feed from OALs...the circle back to Delta and American begging us to not park planes (which I heard from the Dir of Flying in March) is quite believable.

I heard straight from pp himself that iPads/some sort of electrionic jepps were coming, he said to expect something this week. But I've been let down before...

This was no secret the company wanted to do it, while I was in ATW it was mentioned that it is a possibility to park planes but pull some out of like kingman or something. Those would be already in the correct colors if s deal with delta was to be made. God knowing they would love to have el gaupo running routes for them

I belive ForeFlight is 121 approved. I believe Frontier uses it. Much cheaper than Jepp. That's likely the app they're (you're) gonna use.
