Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Consistently I used to get the Marriott Courtyard JFK for $79 on priceline, mid $90s out the door...(UAL, AA hotel just down the street from the Doubletree)

Unfortunately they don't come to the terminals so you got to take the Airtrain to Federal Circle. (free)

Unless you manage to convince them you are AA or UAL, then the come and pick you up...

They will drop at the terminal.

Cheers

( found this in TWG notepad 09-12: "PD requests and APD requests for the next bid period will be processed as part of the daily PCS bid processing beginning at 0700E on the 20th day of the current bid month." ) So where are these new trips showing up in open time coming from between the 16th and 19th??
thx

Military leave requests, sick leave, pilots scheduled into training slots from the AE ect...

Jet Blue? Not so much. The only reason to acquire them is to get rid of a competitor. Delta could just get more 320's and do exactly what JB is doing now. Cannot do that with AMR.

We can't touch what JetBlue is doing now. They would kick our butts from one end of the playing field to the other. Take a look at the CASM's of each airline on the A320. Its all about cost in the end.
