Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Well. I think you could run the 717 shuttle with DTW and ATL crew.

I did recently put some interesting charts in McRae, Cayman Islands, Boise, Bozeman and Las Vegas. Our September trips are full of Song Flying.

So much for a west coast base

Why move the 717 to the west coast when we have plenty of 76 seat RJ's to do that flying?

As much as it pains me to say it, this doesn't prove the 717 base would come to NYC, so this gives me no particular comfort This was known well before Planning mused about having only one base left for the 717.

The silver lining may be that they can definitely do four bases with 88 airplanes. Just because they're saying they will only do three now, if the distribution of flying makes it worthwhile, they'll do it... in a New York minute.

Yeah but it's a pretty damn strong clue that it's on the table...
