I am telling you my idea is a good one, something wide for these long thin routes.

Go 782.

When looking at this photo... An airplane is not what popped into my mind first.... Just saying.

I was referring to the 717s, which a Delta was getting regardless of your contract vote.

No. I enjoy flying with guys who blindly swallow anything Delta serves them. Gotta compete the mission.

You know that, as fact? If so, you're much more connected than anyone on this anonymous web board.

They should have never gave up the additional 76 seat jets, however, that point is probably moot now that DCI is coming apart. Sailingfun is right about C2012, that restructure money would likely not be on the table now.

Regarding duty days...recall that until November, the PWA duty table currently found in Section 12 is still in effect until the implementation of the 5:15 ADG.

I'm not sure how you get 5-15 minutes per flight here. We're talking about the difference between when we've historically turned the beacon on and when the airplane actually begins to push back, right? I've rarely known that to be more than 1-2 minutes, absent a ramp delay of some sort. Even then, we'll only be losing time if the flight goes over scheduled block, right?

Regarding tow-ins, that counts as flight time as surely as pushback does.
