Also, I feel like I should probably include SEA because of its importance to DL as an international gateway, even thought it falls just shy of the 50-departure mark.

SEA

752: 19

744: 1

Total: 46 (97.8% mainline)

Why is the E70/75 included in Mainline? How will all of this shift when the 717's begin operation? Can we expect (hopefully) a major shift toward mainline flying domestic routes?

Is there any reason that Delta could not order Boeings via Virgin Atlantic using the export import bank financing and lease them back to us?

According to Bob Lablaw's Law Blog such would be a violation of the WTO's Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

... and although it does not "rock" the scales based in B flat and Rumer just made this come together really well for a weekend mash up. The chord progression and the timing make this a great tune to improvise from.

My first few concerts ever were Lynyrd Skynyrd (opened up by Charlie Daniels). Also, Blue Oyster Cult, Todd Rundgren, The Guess Who and Styx. That should date me a little.

Can't ever have enough cow bell!

First concet was Styx - Mr. Roboto tour. I was 14 yrs old. Most recent live show that I have seen that really stood out ws U2 summer before last in Bush Stadium, St. Louis.

Also, I could not let this subject go on any longer without a shout out for Cheap Trick!

That was the guy who compiled the list on airliner's net deal. Many passengers consider those mainline equivalent aircraft.

We'll see a good amount fewer CRJ200s and more CRJ900s when the 717s come in.

There's already a significant shift to mainline out of ATL due to the natural economics of it. We're starting MLI on the airbus in June, adding to a number of previously all RJ cities.

Speaking of Styx, if you really wanted to get your late 70's/early 80s on, last year Styx, foreigner and Night Ranger were touring together. There's nothing better than a concert where you know every word to every song. As some are probably aware, Tommy Shaw (styx) has a long relationship doing collaborative work with Night Ranger.

It's not always a bad play if the pretty one ends up having an Adams apple.

Anyways, that was my one and only major concert of my life. The rest was just bands at a bar with Grasshopper.
