Word that I got was because they didn't have a large demand for SILs last month and they are going to allow for individuals to have the flexibility to reduce their schedules if they want.

Good news however regarding operations at JFK. Looks like we have a new terminal coming in a couple years.

Elaborate please, 8 by any chance?

I forget which terminal it is, but they are going to do a complete demolition and rebuild. Terminal C?

Guess we got the financing last week which is a huge indication as to the health of DAL.

Ok, comin off the soapbox now...and Im not attacking you at all...just had to get that off my chest. I hope RA and the gang earn it...they seem to be close to or on the right track now, depending on who you talk to. Good luck to us all.

it's okay, it's not a bad soapbox to be on. Basically from my little world i really pray we have, get, keep the best management folks. When i step out and look at the industry if not the economy at large it is total b.s. that there is this CEO /BOD boys club that ensures people stay out of touch, M&As are the main goals and that they come early and often and pay goes sky high for absolutely nothing.

I think I saw this stat and I wish I could find it but it was what business schools graduated the most CEOs who led major corporations into collapse and it was Harvard. So in my oppinion that's what we should go after, ivy league business schools!! And law schools!! And I know a lot of folks want to focus on the politics but I'd advise against it, for every stereotype pro business anti labor republican there are just as many gulfstream liberals who speak with fork tongues. So I say break the circle of corporate death and golden parachutes and demolish the ivy league!!!

;) that's coming from an SEC business school grad though.

How many gates would we need if we focus primarily on just international in JFK?

That depends, are you just looking to focus on O&D traffic or looking to feed international routes also?

T3 needs to go, but I think we are trying to convince a certain company to let us use T8....

Not too much, compAAny at T8 is not doing very will at JFK. At least that's what I hear.
