Trying to figure out how to say it without outing myself. AE out next month, 330, 744, 739. Another AE out in Jan? That one to cover the remaining MD-90's, the initial 717's, and more 739's. Hiring is quite possible, capacity neutral til summer, then growth aircraft. Looking at more 717's, some in the desert right now. DC-9's now staying til 2014, possibly longer. 1.7 billion profit this year, annual interest expense down by 500 million per year. By looking west think SEA growth and SA, we need to get bigger there. Electronic flight bag to be introduced to the 717 as it comes on line with rest of fleet to follow. Company is going to purchase 60,000 Windows based tablets, Steven Ballmer himself pitched them to RA. Everything from training to cockpit access to wifi for real time info. If I think of more I'll post it. Most important thing said was "what you didn't hear is more important than what you did".

Negative. Too hard to keep clean. My hat falls off my rollaboard once a trip and you can hardly tell. ;)

He obviously means we are buying AA's Miami South American Ops, and their DFW hub! :D

I think it's a merger with UsAir. We're buying Charlotte and will liquidate it and PHX.

The story goes that we originally went with black hats to hide the oil stains from walk-arounds under leaky recip engines. :rolleyes:

Thought she went to jail ... but just learned she posts under the handle "Dalad."

Either way, you would think she could have seen it coming.

When I called, she told me "aint no need to be hiring no homies until the end of 2014. Peopo still movin the hell out of no town, snow town and motown. You gots to grow a mustache, some long hair and learn not to touch that seat belt sign or that damn flap handle unless you be told, Booyee." Sounded to me live Flav o Flav in drag with a fake accent, but she seemed to know about what she spoke.

Nice, Dalad, thanks for the update! It's great to see something encouraging about Delta. It's rumors...so what, I'll take it!
