HMMMMM, I guess that did not apply to the Virgin 777 at gate 58 this morning. No wonder we are gate limited - our code-share, JV, and DCI buddies are using them.

Yup. I love the fact that we're also allowing Allegiant and Frontier to belly up to the gate bar. We get held out but these other guys get priority.

... and it is not just gates. The contracts require Delta staffing (not outsourced). Part of our problem in Dallas is that an Alaska jet pulls a majority of Delta's employees off Delta equipment.

Its 100% true. I can't stand that we codeshare with that train wreck of an airline.

Had to laugh when a DGS instructor asked a KAL student who was taking notes ... "how many ways can you draw a little house ..."

I heard from STL agents that AS wants something like 4 agents working one flight.

Yes, it happens in LA as well. I was chatting with one of our agents the other night and she was so frazzled. They're using our rampers here also,

Gloopy,

Is this an excerpt from a letter to Santa? The Japanese likely want JAL and ANA to succeed first, and their partners come as a distant second. I suspect they want us out of Japan altogether.

Then we cut them out of HNL, LAX and SEA.
