Sounds like someone is trying to get their friends some sweet contract gigs. At least they're not throwing money they don't have to LCC's in a futile attempt to generate the nonexistant "Southwest effect" of an "LCC". Oh wait...

If that thing was written on April 1st I wouldn't have believed it because of how stupid it is. Something in all that mentioned 2027. That nonsense will be scrubbed long before then when they realize they have no way to pay for it.
I agree with you 100%! The NKY Cincinnati Airport Board must be the dumbest group of people on the face of the earth. Although I agree the rental car area of CVG could be improved, tearing down Concourse A (which was renovated last year) and Concourse B (still in good condition) isn't going to go well for CVG.

I always thought Delta would close the CVG hub due to market forces or the NWA merger. But now I know they'll have to close it due to the stupid people in charge of the airport. Good grief.

Wait, I thought you were a DFA anyway. Well best of luck!
Thanks for the good wishes! I don't know any DL FAs, so I'm on my own. I just hope they're going to hire something other than young and inexperienced. And no, I'm not DL FA. I think you may be confusing me with DALFA.

Come on, if you live in the epicenter of NYC you've got to know someone. Or know someone who knows someone. Even if its not a DL FA, you've got to know some DL employee in the area that would give you an internal.

Hard to believe, huh? Outside of the FAs I've worked with, I don't have any family, friends of acquaintances who work for any airline...

Probably. When I questioned the "Gay Marine Porn Star" book tour sponsorship, the response what that the LGT(and whatever the rest of that is) buys a lot of tickets.

I don't think Delta concerns itself with Baptist sensibilities. After all, Mr. Woolman was a Presbyterian. ... all things in moderation ...

Still, I wish we spent our marketing dollars on less controversial projects. The "Southwest Airlines" Coral Reef exhibit in the Atlanta Aquarium was a very good spend for AirTran in the day ... After all, everyone can enjoy the fish regardless of color, sex, age, or orientation. It is imagined the signs will be there as long as the aquarium exists and is an excellent promotion.

I'm embarrassed and ashamed. Truly nauseating.

I'm very surprised that there is a guy @ FedX that didn't resign his DAL Sen. There was a guy who was working for both carriers and got caught. A witch hunt followed and all dual Sen (FedX & DAL) guys were outed. The one guy got fired and the others got a one time pass. Good for him if he gets back to SEA. I have a handful of friends who are trying to get back in the next recall. Seems a little unfair all the Mil Leave are returning after finishing their 20, but the bypass guys/gals have to wait for an official class.

Fingers crossed for hiring sooner than later...maybe the F/A hiring is a hint.
