outdated and worn.

DOT backs Delta

GOOD NEWS

Dot appears to be allowing delta to move our DTW-HND slot to SEA-HND

That is good news. Is the DOT the final word, or is this still "up in the air"?

....and DALPA's relevancy continues to dwindle.

In other words, he didn't agree with you.

One 2-man crew did LAX-MEX.

Another 3-man crew (2 CAs 1 FO- one of the CA's is #1 Cal!) is doing the balance of the trip. Not particularly relaxing... mostly 18 hour and one 9 hour layover.

There's supposed to be something like 290 people.... really amazing how they are packing that thing full!

The flight number 8857 is following it the whole way if anyone wants to track it.

Slowly but surely we're getting the fleet done. Hopefully that will keep increasing the number of pilots on the airplane - maybe that's why there was the additional crews on the latest AE.

That IS the reason for the additional crews on the 744 this last bid.

It is also the reason why the A330 wasn't backfilled- they are beginning their lie flat mods which will continue for the next year and a half.

In my interactions with KR, he's far less "condescending and arrogant" than TO.

I hope he does well.

"A full flat-bed seat with direct aisle access is a premium cabin feature that's important to our customers and one of the many ways we're keeping our commitment to making flying better," said Glen Hauenstein, executive vice president – Network, Revenue Management and Marketing. "The 747 is an iconic aircraft and with this nose-to-tail modification complete, it will serve as the crown jewel of our fleet taking our customers everywhere they want to go – from Australia, Asia, the Middle East and back again."
So a DELTA 747 flies to Australia? And if it is the crown jewel, we need more of them.

You can get them cheap but it doesn't fly to Australia, yet.
