I think that is where many are missing the boat. They have first class, perform the job without being weight restricted, and stay cool in the summer, too.

80, don't forget that they can cruise at .83

Far cry from a 50 seater that cannot even take a full load with an alternate.

Right.

Its a 90 seater.
(configured as 76 - which us airways did anyway because they found that 90 coach was worse than 76 mixed)

Both the cr9 and e175 have 150% the range of a crj-200 as well.

It was actually 86 seats at LCC. Not 90.

When did they say that? I asked my Rep and the only reason to get it done prior to July, was so the pay rates and reserve guarantee could go into effect for July.
None of them have mentioned any sort of "company deadline" of July 1.

I think the voting opens around the 14th and will close on the 29th.

I heard one of the reps in the atl lounge mention a "30 day" voting window to get it done by July 1st. It wasn't a company deadline.

Delta has invested $65 million in SkyTeam partner Aeroméxico, the flagship carrier of Mexico, in return for a 4% stake in the company, Delta said in a press release.
The deal is significant because it marks the first time a global carrier has bought a stake in a national Mexican airline. The agreement creates the leading airline alliance between Mexico and the U.S. Delta will receive nearly 3.2 million shares and a seat on the Aeroméxico Board of Directors as part of the deal.
“The benefits of connectivity and strength are of great value to our customers worldwide,” Richard said. “This agreement also represents a new stage in a key relationship, which we have been developing for years.”
The carriers collectively offer 93 codeshare destinations and transport more than five million passengers each year on those routes, which represent 733 daily flights in eight countries.
They will share best practices in sales, operations, equipment maintenance and staff training, enabling them to offer customers the same travel experience on any of their flights.




Seems DAL can afford to invest in everything but us:(
