Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I'm sure glad we helped get our financial ducks in a row to help put this deal through. Better email your reps before the ink is dry on the LOA. We aren't interested in buying 49% of a company, just to cede them our slots, so they can pare down unprofitable routes, and shift assets to ATL, JFK, and our other LHR gateways. Because if you follow the money, that 747 is gonna have 160 Delta seats for sale on each and every one, the price of the ticket will go up, and the cash flow to our bottom line is going to be immense.

Remember - this has been in the works for I'm guessing 18-24 months. The lines are already drawn in the sand. If we don't like where they were drawn, we're gonna have to work pretty hard to move them.

Is anyone having any issues with Travelnet, keep getting message saying one of the signatures although valid was signed by an untrusted party. Thx

Same thing this morning but I was dealing with a Buddy Pass. Had to sign the Buddy Pass agreement again to get everything working.

(Actually impressed with the cost of the BP compared to a ticket on Delta. $500 vs. $1800)

Global domination?!?!

What exactly is Delta trying to accomplish with all the foreign airline purchases in the past 2-3 years? They have a minority share in Aero Mexico, GOL, looking into this Virgin Atlantic deal....
Global reach but where doen it leave us the pilots and other employees?

Funny, I have a set of triplets with those two names plus "No 69 Vette." My toys have to be a little cheaper...
