I knew that, oops I just saw TCL and jumped at it - I remember some FAs talking about charters and they mentioned Michigan.

Saw Nick Saban and Co. step off a Delta 757 and onto the buses in DFW earlier today (1630ct).

Michigan parked 3 gates over about 30 mins later in a 767.

The E terminal there was as packed as I have ever seen it.

Story on DL net says we are flying 32 NCAA football teams around this year...not to mention all the NFL teams.


A leader in flying teams in three professional sports leagues, Delta's charter operations has added eight additional schools to its roster and now flies 32 college football programs, including 28 from the Bowl Championship Series and one from the Football Championship Subdivision.*

The additions strengthen Delta's position as the world's largest sports charter provider, carrying nearly 100 total teams spread among the National Collegiate Athletic Association, National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and Major League Baseball.

The NCAA football regular season is worth about $15 million in revenue to Delta charters.*

As the regular season kicks off Thursday evening, Delta will carry eight of the BCS preseason top-15 ranked schools, including the University of Alabama, University of Georgia, Florida State University, University of Michigan, University of South Carolina, West Virginia University, University of Wisconsin and Clemson University.

The newest schools to join the charter program include the United States Air Force Academy, Syracuse University, Kansas University, Brigham Young University, University of Utah, University of South Florida, University of Mississippi and the United States Army.

"The trust teams and schools continue to place in our operations speaks to the professionalism and dedication of Delta people," said Bill Wernecke, director–Charter Operations. "We don't just fly these teams, we root for them."

Last season, Delta carried Alabama and North Dakota State University, two of its regular season customers, to national championships.

Jump seated tonight with a person on the hiring committee. App window is open. Only a small amount to cover 717s as previously briefed. Comair not getting preferential treatment.

War Eagle!

I think you have to let those go. We all get vacation and junior and senior get MIL leave so I'm glad we get credit for that. Who wants to come back from 2 weeks vacation only to kill yourself the last two weeks working.

I would like to see the SC's go out just like the next flying assignment. Based off of the RAW bucket. Not cool to do back to back 4 days and then be the only one without a SC so you get nailed.

Otherwise I think the system is ok. I am probably the most junior guy on this board and I managed a 52 raw (apx) for the month. Sat 3 sc's and 4 days of flying. Now if I followed my new hire buddies over to the ER I would likely be getting kicked in the balls.

Want QOL? I say junior equip is the way to go!

If this is true we should know when those on FUR get the offer to come back right? or hear from the Compass /Mesaba ppl quickly there after that they got flow dates?

Totally agree on the SCs. They shouldn't be seperate buckets from the overall. I flew until i was in a different bucket than the senior people for may, june, and july... then got short calls and got called out on them while the senior guys were sitting long call who had already burned their short calls.
