So the 717 could go to NYC, it could go west, but it won't do both.

BTW, talked to a mechanic the other day about the 717. He said they (line mechanics) have been happy with the 717s. I joked I guess it's better than the MD-90s. If you want to see a mechanic go nuts, mention the MD-90. And he went nuts.
Then he said, but actually the 739s are worse. He said they're having a lot of problems with it and the interior not holding up.
True?

Thoughts? I pulled that one right out of the ole' bottom.

88 717's can't support 4 bases? I don't think so.

Can anyone shed some light on 3rd party applications or software that can help Delta pilots with iCrew or bidding? I've heard small things of icrewmax and easy bid, but was hoping someone would post reviews and/or information about other software worth checking out.
Thanks
Thanks

Let's get it on the record now, and launch an offensive. I'm tired of the company taking the initiative and DALPA always reacting/caught a step behind.
I guess I disagree with the premise that we "aren't offering anything." First, we should note that most guys on the property contributed very heavily when times were bad. That loan is due. There is no reason to give more now.
What we have to "offer" is labor peace. RA relies heavily on the perception that Delta is above labor strife. It's a big part of his move to make Delta an "investment grade" organization. If picketing starts and things get messy, investors--already gunshy about airline stocks--will bolt.

I'm checking the mail every day for the luggage tags that say "Get R Done" from national.
