What people forget is that RA is the same RA that was at NWA. What has changed? We buy used aircraft and retrofit them, we outsource a lot of our flying and more importantly he really doesnt care if he is number 1 or 6.
I would be surprised if this cat will grow DAL organically. Maybe more codeshare, Jv's and career stagnating mergers.

I think it was in one of my CQ's a while ago that some management type told our group that buying Alaska as a whole is not really attractive. His reasoning was that because a large share of their passengers are feed for another carrier (American), buying them would be akin to paying full price for half the revenue, but you still get all the pilots and planes.
I'm not an expert, but it made sense to me. I think we should just let Alaska be Alaska, without us, and build up LAX and SEA with 717's and A320's (since they are being underutilized and all).
Organic growth sounds good to me.

Now if we could just take the female FA's from Virgin and JB we would be golden!!

Are 717 trainees supposed to be going to MD-88 training and then tag on 717 training?
This would be a set back to the survey inputs which called for bringing MD-88/90 training on par with 320/319 pay, which of course I was assured wasn't mentioned in the survey....the one we never got to see.

I understand it's a 5-day transition from M88 to 717.
Will it also be 5 days to go the other way, if guys bid that way down the road?
That would suck.

Can someone post a route map of HA. It's pretty interesting. Lots of Japan to include one HND route. I think 3 destinations in Australia and Auckland. Airlineroute.net also has us pulling back more of our summer Europe flying out of ATL.

That's why us buying/merging with HA makes complete sense. Plus, they fly +717ssss inter island. How fun would that be for an HNL base? Throw in GUA for the 73s. Ahh, its all coming together.
