Okay, I'm asking this once a year but it's because I always just end up at McDonalds. If you're a cheapo but want good food, the best place to eat in DTW airport is...

Did you try Wendy's over in Concourse B/C? Ya know, by the old Delta gates?

I've always liked the "Online Cafe". They have an aircrew menu that's a good amount of food for about $7. Their stir-fry is really good.

If you're at the north end, the boars head has good soups, or you can do Taco Bell. South end, hungry howies or the "stand up" national coney. If you're near the middle, the "sit down" national coney is good, especially at breakfast. They give a crew discount. If you have some time to kill and like sushi, there is a pretty good sushi place about halfway toward the south end.

Hey FTB,

I can turn you on to every imaginable dining/drinking establishment in and around Livonia if you're interested. That's my next book..."Livonia By Night."

Having Delta pilots fly even just half of all DAL/VA JV flying would be a huge increase on Delta pilots part...

The difficult equation is whether DAL keeps the US Britain flying in the current transatlantic JV or establishes a new JV and breaks out that flying from the existing Transatlantic JV with AF/KLM/AZ.
Each of these scenarios will require a reset of the EASK balance in the current AF/KLM/AZ JV.

That's why it's important to understand that right now Delta is well below the goal of 50% and even well below the lowest permissible limit of 48.5%...

Cheers
George

George, your little graph shows 2013, and it May 2013, doesn't it show 50-50? Doesn't that trigger the start of a new measurement period? Isn't the rest of the graph to the right of March just the best guess based on OAG data? Has AF loaded its full fall pulldown?

Got a relative that works air traffic control. The FAA controllers will work less hours (budget cuts) and have to reduce services. With fewer people in the towers it probably means runway closures. I have heard the FAA may close some towers at smaller airport or curtail hours.
