"Depending on the outcome of the push for more HND slots, we could see Network pursue additional Narita over-flight opportunities."

Not a good sign for the NRT operation.

I won't comment on the rest of the post but my "crystal ball" says there will be more than one more displacement in the future, at least off the domestic 767. When Delta starts parking 757's as we are getting 737-900's, where do you think the displacements are going to come from? In my mind the domestic 767 is the, for lack of a better word, "perfect" category to cover these displacements. The company wants to get rid of the category here is a taylor made way to get rid of the category......:mad:

Not sure how you see hiring at an earlier point without a new deal.....

Some thought if we did not allow additional reserve utilization the Company would have been forced to hire for Summer 13 flying, which would mean a spool up about now.

However, there are a whole bunch of variables no one knew precisely (how many early outs, summer 13 block, etc)

When he sits on the corner of Woolman's desk and proclaims "Our people are our greatest strength" Big Chief Anderson talk with forked tongue.

He says he values Delta pilots, but he values you most when he needs a slot swap pushed through or relief from 50-seat leases.

What I hear Bar saying, is that Anderson wouldn't shed a tear if his next deal put every Delta pilot on the street. Not very Woolmany.

You guys are saying "Delta is the best because Anderson is brilliant"

To which Bar basically says "He may be brilliant, but he sold his grandma for a dollar"

And now you guys are jumping on Bar with "Dude, don't you realize that grandmas are only worth 80 cents these days?"

That's all you've got? Growth in Boston? Is Delta the only airline who has pulled back in BOS? How is our CASM compared to JB?


You also never answered an earlier question, so I'll ask it again. Had Delta remained independent, would you still be on the 767 flying to Amman, Cairo, Berlin, etc? Would DAL still be serving Cape Town, Mumbai non stop, etc?
