You should read your own material Bar. If you had, you would see that we had all our cards set to defend our our fragmentation language if DALPA had tried to pull an AirTran with us. We weren't scared in the least. Delta decided to back down. You say it was because Delta wanted to "do the right thing." I'm thinking there are Western and Pan Am pilots really chuckling about that right now.
Great, then stop with your idiotic comments about your fellow pilots. You're the only one here that does it Bar. Like it or hate it, the rest of us have moved on.
They did hatch a scheme. We had a response planned. Delta backed down.
You'll save us all a lot of time if you would just stop with the fNWA pilot hatred. How about you give that a try?

Posted without comment. However, I'm pretty sure that's a CRJ cabin...

Just wondering if anybody has spotted any Surface RT's in LCA's hands as is being put out by the company. I also wonder if we'll face delays again when they have to rewrite all the programs for whatever operating system is on the next device...

Yes indeed. But instead of DALPA responding by saying: "have fun baby, it's been real" ... DALPA will be saying: "No baby don't leave, we can make it baby!"
Wish we had a face palm emoticon.

I'm not the naive one here.
If the RJs had not been allowed to fly via scope than DC9 sized aircraft would have had to be ordered at some point.
If we did not allow so many of our passengers to be flown on other airlines it would change the needs for what airplanes were ordered.
The JVs are taking jobs on the high end and we allow it via scope.
We need better language and we need to strongly enforce it.

this 747 retirment has become a funny game delta is playing with wall street. I skews the capacity numbers to keep wall street happy for this year. It shows capacity discipline, Wall street's 2 favorite words after non-union. They reduce capacity this year and increase it next year with more airframes. I am not sure how it exactly breaks out but they can find a measure like seats available and massage the numbers.
Another thing this allows delta to do is reduce the airline in the shoulder months to increase the flying/capacity only in the summer. They have done this in the last few years with there in-flight premuim cabin upgrades and heavy checks.
