Bar,

I suspect you ran into that attitude shortly, maybe even a year, after the merger. That attitude is NOT prevalent now. I definitely think it's more the "What can I do for you?" now.

Ref the two latest aircraft rumors. On a scale of 1 to 10 which of these rumors the 787 or 346-600 has the best chance of coming to fruition?

Oh, food fight. That too. We couldn't get the previous FA to leave the airplane. She kept apologizing "oh, I'm sorry, I'll get out of your way." I didn't pay attention to what she was doing but I think it was cleaning out the galley from the previous flight.

So look at it this way, there were 3 FAs on one flight and 1 FA from the previous. Of the 4, 1 was probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen at Delta and she was very normal. 1 was hoarding food while new FAs were boarding. 1 was aggressive menopausal and thought she was Queen of the world. The last one was along for the ride.



I guess the 1 normal one saved the day.

Dammit.
That is frustrating.

But the BBQ and Mexican restaurants are pretty good.

I like the part where they are going to "...protect and defend our customers..."

From what? Lower fares? More flight choices? Airlines who apparently don't know how to do the hard work behind the scenes?

Really?

I think they missed the fact that we just went through one of the most successful mergers in airline history and made over $400 million last quarter. We've got spirit.

So we bow up, compete and win on the west coast vs Alaska! And then they're left in tatters.

And then what happens? We merge?

What happens if you organically grow the west coast and then merge? Seems to me it'd be substantial overlapping and overstaffing.
