Sorry for the thread creep! Sorry for the thread creep! What a preposterous statement. Thread creep to a post is like a genetic mutation to DNA - it is the vehicle that allows change, adaptation, evoloution, and ultimately survival. Could this thread have survived if it was about one topic and one topic only? Would anyone want to read a "jillion" posts on one topic - it would be like homework. I say follow the thread wherever it take us. Should it veer off course and take a detour not too popular amongst the regulars, say for instance a detailed discussion about the effectiveness of womens hygeine products, it shall unerringly be brought back on course by some juicy rumor, some supposed outlandish management proclamation, or dare I say it - some Noble gesture of DALPA (think Scope). In a world without thread creep (said in that TV announcer guys voice) we would have thread stagnation. So do not bemoan the occasional humorous diversion, the seemingly unrelated sports bravado or the much too infrequent hot college babe pictures. Roll with it. Scoop |

The voice out of DTW is not the problem. Dtw reps over the years have always been the most militant. While I have not always agreed with their stances, they tended to vote/voice what they felt was the best for the pilot group as a whole. Novel concept. Msp, being the master base tended to be more "company friendly" and the widebody bases were just flat out of touch when it came to the bulk(domestic) of the airline. ATL scares me more than msp though. Mainly because dalpa has historically been more amiable to the company needs vs nwalpa. And with the way chairman Mao, oops Moak seems to be able to negotiate/dictate deals with the company with no opposistion/discussion with OUR elected reps until it is too late, I think ATL being the gorilla base needs some fighters. Just my opinion and I am sure I will be tarred and feathered by the dalpa faithful spinmeisters but so be it.

AS I said about 15 pages ago, yesterday BTW, you have your chance to begin to change the voice via your MEC elections. There is one in Atlanta and Detroit this year. Choose wisely.

There are several resistance members in ATL. We will let our presence be felt soon.
LONG LIVE THE DOG!!! |
In all seriousness, GOOD LUCK WE'RE ALL COUNTING ON Y'ALL.

That is the plan, but there will be some DCI growth as well. Whether it be in gauge or destinations.
IMHO, what is planned is for these cities to be served less frequently but with much larger mainline jets, giving us the ability to serve more cities. (The way we used to do it, the way we made money as well. Getting back to the core business principles IMHO) As I stated last night, it keeps people on property now, and will speed up the need for bodies as we see a recovery. IMHO this deal was started before the AAI, CAL deal. We just waited for the correct time to announce it! TriStar (Aug 13, 2009 10:23:07 AM) We’ve heard that US Airways wants to sell their Embraer 190 jet fleet of 25 aircraft. Is there any truth to the rumor that we are considering acquiring these aircraft as more fuel-efficient replacements for the DC-9s acquired from NW? Glen Hauenstein (Aug 13, 2009 10:23:07 AM) Have not heard this, and we have no interest. |

Exactly.
I think that now that DAL has three WO, they can get rid of or sell one of them, and that might be the plan. Oct is coming rather quickly.... |
