Raises a question, what are they going to the 5 crews for their summer off?

I'm guessing they are assigning a high ALV when no one is on the jet so that they can reduce the ALV (complying with the the yearly average requirement) when there are more people on the airplane (saving Delta money)?

Delta Air Lines Inc on Tuesday curbed its growth forecast for a key revenue measure for the first quarter, saying March demand was hurt by lower last-minute travel from government clients in the wake of U.S. budget pressures.

The news sent Delta's shares down 7 percent and also hurt other airline stocks. Some analysts said the sell-off appeared to be overdone because Delta's profit picture was largely unchanged.

Delta said that unit revenue, a measure of pricing power and the extent to which planes are filled, rose at a lower pace in March than in the previous two months. Delta's unit revenue last month rose 2 percent, compared with a rise of 5 percent in February and 5.5 percent in January.

So. It's totally worth the 10 A330 replacement jets we'll get for it.

Did I say they'd be flying the airplane, or just sitting in the jumpseat?

Slow your roll homey.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the high ALV for the 717 in May.
