It's big enough to handle both of those. Next flight you work into DFW see how many people are staying and how many are connecting and that will tell you that we have more then enough lift to bring people in and out of the city. The connecting passengers are the problem and is causing all these catastrophic irops. Time to start using PHX and ORD more instead. We lost a LOT of premium customers by whoever made the disastrous decision to shrink ORD a few years ago.

Big enough now.

Planning for tomorrow requires expansion and forward lean. The lessons learned at ORD will not be repeated, as expansion is underway at DFW to support future growth

No, we do not need to grow DFW even more. Bad strategy and don't give me this we make the most money out of there line of bull****. Look at our balance sheets compared to UA/DL. We are doing it wrong.

lol, it melts down a couple times a month.

True! The amount of APA notifications I receive every month of people junior to me receiving PM/PR/OG trips is quite high (in my opinion). 108 awarded junior to me this month already. Many of them in the 14000 and 15000 seniority numbers. I can only imagine how many senior to me are getting them.

Why would you getting embarrassed hurt my feelings?

Suss looks out for suss… of course he chimes in advocating for ORD 73 growth, lol. That being said, tend to agree with him here.

But DFW needs to grow regardless, consistent top 3 growing metro in the nation every year. Can’t control the weather. Terminal F coming along nicely, get that 10 year plan moving!

Just a heads up. I’m Bus DFW sitting around 70% seniority and would be mid to low 40% seniority on the 737. We have an awful lot of folks who camp in the right seat of the 73, then bid over to AB FO once they have the seniority required to hold their desired schedule on the Bus.

Fine, I’ll be the one to derail this.. this wouldn’t happen if QoL as a junior CA/FO didn’t suck so bad. Blah blah blah some day son.
