This absolutely makes the most sense, but what other scenarios are there? I can’t think that DL likes being in bed with UA and AA on the whole YX thing. If they could get their LGA gates and run, I believe they would do it in a heartbeat.

Although I still want to see YX and CP merged so they can use the Brick-a$$ callsign!

I'm still not counting out Compass yet. Delta is too savvy to let SkyWest have everything west of the Mississippi to themselves.

Apparently the latest video mentioned going back to not spreading out there regionals. Its causing downline delays... getting each carrier focused on one region for better completion, on-time and spare utilization..

meh, compass is cheap and their performance numbers are on the rise. if Delta wants to spend the money to shift the flying around then they can do it, if they don't, then they won't.

Anyone listen in on the all employee meeting today and have any juices information to share?

Not much today. The not so juicy rundown is below...

- Good performance. Best in 13 months.
- OJI Injuries are the metric that is rough right now. Something about a mechanic trying to stop a runaway tire.
- AA route map makes mx much easier
- DL route map involves trips where planes don't touch mx base for 6-7 days. Compass made a chart showing this compared to other DCI carriers and is bringing it to DL next week for a DCI meeting in ATL....I believe.
- Alot of people were away today and not too many bad metrics so not too much to go over.
- FAs have alot of classes starting up this month


I left after about 30min. I believe they were opening it up the questions.

I think the person who goes over the new cities served was away so that part (my personal favorite) was missing.

We're not losing Delta, we are Delta!


(rumor of us going into the 220 was wrong, we'll have to slum it in the 320)

What is dead may never die.

Come on now, we are flowing into the 321. Still has the new car smell!

Quickest way for us to lose our DL contract is to start canceling flights for FAs. We all need to pitch in and get them a Costco size package of Emergen-C.
