FDX - F9 to discontinue service to MEM

Maybe this will result in more non-stops to the west coast on Northwest (now Delta?) and a bigger deviation bank. :D:D:D 2 legs thru DEN were painful just to save the company a few shackles? |

Kinda suxs for all us Denver guys. F9 was way cool for the J/S. :(

NWA is adding some COS flights in June. Not perfect, but an option...

Disclaimer: I have several friends at Delta, don't know anyone at Northwest, so I will admit to being slightly biased. I think we all agree that MEM sucks, so anything that screws that city, i.e, loss of NW hub, is something to be celebrated. |

What was wrong with going through DEN? We have a nice airport, easy connections, places to eat, and F9 has a pretty good reputation for running on time. Plus, like USNFDX said, they were always great for a J/S if needed. Yeah, you don't get as big of a deviation bank, but it wasn't that big of a difference. Who wants to ride on NW, anyway? CRJs MEM-DEN vs EMB-170s (previously Airbus) on F9. I'll take F9, even with a lower deviation bank. Besides, NW sucks, I can only hope that DL closes MEM down when the time comes.

Besides we can't all live in Denver. The MD-10 is already full every night with 4 guys in back and 2 up front. (And one on the ironing board) |
Frontier pays their pilots squat. NWA is a strong union carrier. I go out of my way to buy union tickets.

This news is disappointing to say the least. I no longer commute DEN-MEM and haven't in two years but I liked having the option for jumpseats/deadheads. Hopefully it's a good financial decision that will keep the F9 guys (union members if you don't pay attention) their jobs. |
