I hope not. If so I would have been better to apply there years ago instead. No way the bottom of our list would fare well in that one.
Only good thing is I guess ALPA could say they took care of the AK code share problem. :rolleyes: |

The Cub Club is based out of LVN, ie Airlake, about 20 mi S of MSP. You're down in ATL, aren't you? Nevertheless, PM me some time when you have a layover in MSP, I'm up for any excuse to go Cub flying! :D
Thanks for the offer! I had a '46 J3 (C65) for years, but it was destroyed in a hurricane in 2004. Although I'm based in ATL, I live in central Florida, 85 miles south of MCO. I do pass through MSP on the way to NRT so there is a good chance I will get up there and give you a shout before I do. Is yours on floats? I've always wanted to get my float ticket. I've flown a buddies J3 on floats a few times...until he flipped it a few years ago. |

The decision has been made to keep the DC-9's another year. This was fought tooth and nail by flight operations but marketing wanted them and won the battle. They expected to hire if this happened however they are getting a very high number of pilots returning from leaves so they think they can cover the flying. There is a class of 15 returnees that just started and as many as 150 will be coming back over the next 9 months. Most are military leaves. A big group is finishing their 20 years.
Re. keeping the DC 9's, can you explain why, "This was fought tooth and nail by flight operations..." Are the guys in Flt. Ops. trying to get rid of mainline airframes/jobs??:eek: Seems odd 'Floperations' would want to dump airplanes, no matter how old, until the replacements show up. What is up with that? The company is dumping RJ50's, I HOPE we keep the DC9's as long as possible to recover that outsouced flying. And for BuzzPat, Love the bling on the new avatar! |
Good news, perhaps?
ATLANTA, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines (DAL) will increase its presence at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris next summer with new year-round and seasonal service from 11 destinations in the United States. With its expanded service, Delta will offer flights between Paris and its hubs at New York-JFK, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit and Cincinnati, as well as key business markets in Newark, Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. All flights will be operated in conjunction with Delta's joint venture partner Air France.

Well, this means its likely NOT a merger. Additionally the TA reduced the amount of flying AK could do. Maybe something with a SEA expansion for Intl? Dunno....

A big brand new intl terminal or something like that. I like the sound of that!
Most likely AS will drop the AMR codeshare and in turn DAL expands the AS codeshare... Cheers George |

Well so far this week we've heard rumors of AK adding service into SLC from LAX, LAS, PDX, and SEA. Now we have rumors of AF taking over the SLC-CDG flight. I think management has found their way of dealing with upcoming retirements and that seems to be outsourcing enough flying so they can shrink with retirements and not hire. So far I'm not liking any of the rumors that are going around this place since the new TA.
