yep I think we are going there. :D

does anyone to know if the 777 rumor is for 773s or 772s?

Is there a 777 rumor? Probably -300s to feed the code share hubs in Asia since we are apparently pulling down NRT in the near future.

777-300ER's. My money is on the 330's but I have heard some interesting tidbits that might lend credence to a Boeing upset

Random Interline Travel Question.

If you purchase a ZED Fare ticket and decide to leave earlier, say three days, can you still use that ticket or do you need to purchase another ticket?

I heard we might do both at the same time.

but you can do that with a million dollars.

The NTSB is a government agency. Government = the American people = "us".

Whether you or I or ALPA wishes they would hold off on releasing the hard data is immaterial. The chairwoman believes that since the data belongs to the public, the public should see it as soon as the data is available. Same with the probable cause finding...you can expect she will release that in a public hearing the minute the board makes its determination. She's one of those public servants who understands who she works for, and no amount of pressure or insults from ALPA will change her mind.

ALPA has no "right" to be part of this or any investigation. They are there only at the invitation of the NTSB. if there's any more mouthing off from ALPA, I predict they'll be thrown out of any investigative role here. I can't imagine the howls of "clown show" from alfaromeo/slowplay etc., had this been done by DPA.

Rumor Alert
Buddy of mine that's a DFW controller tells me that Delta is going to bring the hub back to DFW.

It depends on the carrier but typically, yes...

I've had LH accept an eZed fare for MUC LAX on MUC SFO just minutes before departure...

eZed rocks, because the purchase and refund process is all online.

Those are different jets and I can see us needing both...

The 773 at 350 seats, slides nicely between our 300 seaters (772 and 333) and the 400 seat 744...

We would need a few (single digits) to be able to flex the network based on demand.

The 333 after is just a little more than half the price of the 777.
I would imagine this is the financial sweet spot to add widebody capacity and free the existing 777LR for ULH missions...

I would imagine Delta would purchase quite a few more A333...

The ugly duckling in all this is the 340-600 and I would not be surprised to see us picking up a few on the cheap, It would be the widebody equivalent to the MD90 purchase...
