Delta keeps select small markets through new Silver Airways partnership and adjusts LaGuardia flying | CAPA - Centre for Aviation
Maybe this has already been discussed, but is this Silver thing a new way around scope?

Turboprops now count against the total number of aircraft operated. I would have to reread section 1 to see if there is a exemption for under 50 seats but don't have time at the moment. I am sure someone else can check but my understanding is that the 340's would count toward the 425 airframe limit.

If it matters they are not repainting in DAL colors. Look for the black and silver 340's in ATL with pink engines.

There's an indoc class right now with 15 + Mil leave and medical returnees on it right now. With 250 pilots on Mil leave projected in March, could a delay in hiring be affected by the return of some of these folks?

46. “Permitted aircraft type” means:
b. a propeller-driven or turboprop aircraft certificated in the United States for 37 or fewer passenger seats and with a maximum certificated gross takeoff weight in the United States of 37,000 or fewer pounds,

It will have a effect on hiring equal to the number that come back. If all 250 return then it will reduce the need to hire by 250. I spoke with two Jet Blue Captains recently who are coming back. I think more will come back then expected.

As I understand, while there some mil guys coming back in your class, there are probably similar amounts taking mil leave. Someone said the number of pilots on mil leave is somewhat of a steady number - some come back, some go out, etc.

Maybe this flights to Orlando thing is a trend. We could taking some of the retiring 757s, put all coach seats in them and fly them to and from Orlando. Maybe start a base there. I noticed there a wing of gates in our terminal in MCO just vacated by Airtran, maybe they are available. Get some neat uniforms for the FAs and little bricks to hand out as snacks. What to call it.. what to call it...

13.2% drop in durable goods in August.
As one pundit said it, worst decrease in almost four years, and a large signal that the American economy is diving into a recession.
So I guess the economy is crashing? -717
