Delta wins right for third daily Atlanta-Heathrow flight
November 16, 2012

Delta this week was awarded a pair of takeoff and landing slots to operate new nonstop service between London-Heathrow and Atlanta, adding a third daily flight between the two cities next year.

The Atlanta-Heathrow route is among the most profitable flights in Delta's transatlantic network, CEO Richard Anderson said in his weekly Right from Richard message to employees. It can be difficult, however, to obtain slots at the right times to operate as much service as we would like, he said.

American Airlines and United Airlines were required to give up some slots in order to gain approval for their transatlantic alliance. The European Union's competition authorities concluded that Delta was the best carrier to operate the service, which will begin at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport with a stop in Atlanta.

The flight will be operated with Boeing 767-400 aircraft and is scheduled to begin in March 2013.

My Father bought a Delta ticket, a couple years back, from SAN-OGG.
When he showed up to the airport he was directed to an Alaska 737. He was a little confused until I explained it to him.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see any "black & white" or "reading between the lines" of hiring in '13. Very much trying to stay optimistic, but need just a morsel of news about hiring. :)

Good day,

Turns out the guy that isn't is on short call today until late this evening and has a golden day on Sunday whereas I just have an XX day Sunday. Since he's done tomorrow at noon I realize that makes him of less use to scheduling than me, but can they just skip him like that and move on to me?

I'm hesitant to call them on it because I have a feeling they'll just leave me on my early SC and put him on SC as well, which does neither of us any good. I just more curious if they can legally do it.
