Yes, Sam was a great pitcher for the Chicago Red Sox:D

From Q2 to Q4, we dropped 38 CRJ-200s from the DCI fleet without adding swapping them for a single 76-seater.

We just need electric shock therapy on Cliff.

If two people running for President are promising you different directions and the race is close then businesses (not Delta) will wait until after the election to determine their direction. I mean why throw your money in one direction or another if you don't know what's going to happen?

Same with Delta, why would they spend the money to increase seat inventory until they know what everyone else is going to do? I don't think they would increase capacity and hope people come, but rather, hold capacity down until it costs them money and then grow.

Which at this airline a jump in seat inventory would probably require GDP to jump from it's current 1.3% to 9% before they'd consider increasing capacity over increasing price.

Have to take a break from todays news about our "partners" expansion while we continue to shrink to enter the Burmese position and do the meditation provided to the bottom third of the Delta list by by Sailingfun, Slowplay, that TN fan and that Captain from New York:

"I am happy to have been displaced. I love the Douglas jets. I don't fear stalling at altitude, systems that don't work, altitude deviations, hydraulic failures, questionable control authority, engines that go "Ka Boom" and limitations despite the presence of blue lights. Searching for poles and ladders while covered in hydraulic, deicing fluid and other Class 1 carcinogens isn't t_h_a_t unhealthy. I mean my grandma dipped snuff and lived to 93, right? Fifteen years in the right seat is not a commentary on the success of a career. I will not jump when things go BUMP ... I will not let the one minute lag in FMS response cause a myocardial infarction, because we have four miles either side of the airway before we hit anything, right? The MD88 will fly in ice, despite the fact it barely flies at all. The air is denser when it is cold. I will not envy other airlines with career progression and modern equipment. I will always be irrationally proud because I was able to do simple math while keeping a little man from falling off a beam by moving a fulcrum with a key pad."

That was one of the best scenes.

That and when Frasier was trying to increase the intellectual depth of the bar by reading classic novels to them but realized he needed to spice them up. So he added Apache helicopters to Charles Dickens stories.

Uh Oh. We're drifting toward a political discussion.

Let's remember this is an aviation forum.

So here's another hula hoop video.
