Could be true. It hasn't been stopping some of the other "big wigs" up in NY from divulging the latest and greatest.
Now go ask the JFK folks where we are going to move to! |

Yea, my wife was saying that they were giving $400 in Delta dollars to people that paid $108 for their tickets out of PDX.
The system is very close to breaking. All in all though, besides our buddies at SkyWest, the agents are doing a damned good job. ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! We are PAYING people to FLY US!!!!!:mad::mad: |

Frustrated, but not willing to pay more for there tickets. Talk is cheap, let them vote with their pocket books!
We need people to pay what the actual cost is, not what they would like. To do that we need to retrain them. That takes time. |

BINGO!!!! We need to start training them now, because when oil goes back up we will have NO choice but to pass the cost on to the consumer.

Good work for a guy that has been Burned.
BTW great season finally! Your information is very good. Last part is very good as well. Just remember that when people calm down, logic prevails, and this though a long shot is a distinct possibility. I will be happy when this comes out, officially, as it will put some of the hyenas at bay ;) I've been walking in circles for weeks waiting for the feeding! ;) :D |
Sorry, catching up on the 'do list after a trip. Is it me or does the list seem to grow larger after each trip? Anyway, the gentleman I talked with was not drunk, just seemed to pass the info on since he was sure it was to be announced today. No worries about how it might affect things. I asked for any news, he gave it. He asked what I thought about the operation in JFK and I gave him my honest opinion....In a nutshell, no matter what plans you implement, for the size of our operation we need new real estate, period. If we want this to be a linchpin in our network, it can't be a patchwork of operations wound together with busses and peoplemovers. He seemed genuine and well informed on how JFK as an entity worked and how to try and leverage Delta into that as best we can.
As to no gain for any swaps with LCC I see a definite loss for LCC because all they have are slots in the NE. As they lose those, they lose their one thing that sets them apart from others and any power they might bring to the grown up table. JMHO. ACL, great season, I love how Strickler got his mid-sentence. Burn Notice |
Sorry, duplicate post
Burn Notice |

The majority of Delta dollars given out are never used. The redemption rate a few years ago was less then 25 percent. Kind of a scam on Delta's part. Years ago they gave out actual cash. Not the case today. |

Plus, I have a non-airline guy friend that flies a ton, he said he took the Delta Dollars and had to pay more then what he would have had he bought the tickets out right from priceline. Delta Dollars have to be used at Delta.com and have a bunch of other restrictions...Good to see the flying public get hosed once and not paying 108 bucks for a ticket from msp to mco |
