Now while the pilots are sadly gone and the planes sadly scrapped, you'll be happy to know that at least the original flight attendants are still available for viewing at the old Pan Am terminal in JFK. Just fwiw.

The #1 Most Recognized Brand in the world, and Delta decided not to use it. Big mistake.

I wish we could get D E L T A as big as PAN AM is on the wide bodies.

You are killing me.. How long is this pike/pipe that the stuff is coming down? This weekly reminder of good stuff coming reminds me of all the other unfulfilled rumours of the past..."Big announcement on Friday" Just no mention of what year...

Yep, lots of stuff coming down the pike. DAL is a good place to be long term.

There are real not dates per se. They have target dates for many things, but in order for F to happen, A through E need to happen. Many are dependent on one or more things happening.

Fact is long term there will be good news. Some of it will happen in the short term as well. If you know DAL, nothing ever happens quick!

For F to happen the economy has to happen and fuel has to go back down to $30, and age 65 in 2012. Good luck to all.

I understand the fuel cost reference, but what does the rest mean?

Looks like Comair's block hours are dropping by 5300+ hours from August to September. OUCH!

EV is about the same. Going from about 1000 departures a day to about 500 this fall.
