Hmmm still no bids or back door.

Never mind, Happy Happy Happy

Well, you have got to give them this. Our boys know how to play in the present "deregulated" environment with such levels of govt interference in commerce and enterprise. This just makes me laugh.

Delta Plans Expansion at Dallas Love Field - Yahoo Finance

I wonder how much of this service will be done with 717's?

Very crafty move by RA tying it the divestitures.. Will be interesting how SWA spins it.

Oh the irony.:D

You mean Southwest's old cast-offs? After they've waited years for the Love restrictions to expire, now Delta wants to go head to head with the govt darling. I love the ironies. Critter took our 9s, and now we want to compete with their 717s. And in order for a carrier to come in and compete in Love with an actual business plan, it would have to hurt the one airline the govt loves to give these type of merger concessions to.

One Great Team Award Travel
 

Guys,

Any catch to requesting an upgrade with the award travel? I assume you can check in from home via Delta.com and put in your upgrade request - can anyone confirm?

Thanks Scoop

The 717's are going to have to start coming into the picture soon. With all this expansion, they've got to be running out of Rj's. :D

Just used mine last week. Just check in from home and you will be automatically added to the list.

FYI: My wife and I went from MSP to LAX then continued to Hawaii. The flight was a thru flight in LAX with an equipment swap from a 73N to a 757. We did not get upgraded in MSP (shocking right?) but the leg from LAX to OGG was wide open since Delta doesn't allow miles upgrades to Hawaii. When we inquired in LAX as to why we weren't on the upgrade list, we were told that you have to clear on the original flight or you can't be upgraded on the 2nd segment. I was floored! So, short version is: my wife and I sat crammed in the back of a 757 for 5.5 hrs while skywest employees and buddy pass riders stretched out in 1st class!

Also, you are not eligible for premium seats (exit rows, economy comfort, certain isle seats, etc..) unless you pay for it!

Good luck!
