Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

So...the 717 is obviously going to be delayed for some period of time. As Clamp pointed out, the first CRJ900 has been delivered. Does this now get in to the catch all in our PWA about "unforeseen circumstances" re: scope.

My guess is the company will invoke this and push to fly the new jumbo RJs regardless of when the 717s get in to service. I'm sure they don't want to leave those shiny new RJs on the ramp.

Thoughts?

Absolutely not, I asked a rep today.

The limit stays at 153 until the 717's (or additional 319's of which we didn't buy any) are added to the Delta Fleet.

Thanks for pointing that out! We woke up the little guy, and dragged his sister out with us, and we were out in the middle of the street (for the best view) at the prescribed time.

Beautiful, star-lit night. Not a cloud anywhere. Most of the lights were off in the neighborhood. And there it was.

We have a new family memory because of your post.

Anyone here Non-rev'd to GIG? I see it is part of Delta's payload optimization initiative. But is it limited year round? I was hoping to go down the last week of March. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also good places to stay or visit. First time

Non rev question for you guys. Have active SkyWest employees always had non rev priority over a DL S3B, DL employee's parents and DL retirees? Seems weird.

forgot to bid
