Take a look at the charter department page and think you will find it is "our stuff". Sold by us, scheduled by us, most likely a 50 seater owned or leased by us. Only thing we don't do is fly it.

Looks like you're trying to spin this in the wrong direction. You know better than anyone that Delta Airlines manages and controls each and every move of the charter flights. The Delta Connection "airlines" have nothing to do with it. They do what they're told by DADDY Delta. So, no, the blame rests with Delta...not other any other airline.

So, it depends. 95-99% of the time you'll be OK with the international bag in the closet.

Also, I'm not sure, but if there is only one bag upfront, you might be able to get an international up there. Might be too long, I've never seen/tried it.
The coat closet in the -900 blows. Its gotta really suck for commuting FOs scrambling to make their flight home. The FAs pile all of their crap on top of your crap and its a Chinese fire drill getting stuff out of there.

Here's one for buzzpat:

Both sides are entrenched in their beliefs and the whole sordid affair has degenerated into nothing more than childish behavior for both camps. Do you really believe that you and Carl are changing minds on this forum? The same question can be asked of the DALPA crowd.
Good points all.
