Are you able to swap and take yourself above the max pickup?
Yes, ALV sadly does not apply to swaps.

The fuel numbers have long been established and I seriously doubt AirTran could keep something so super top secret for so long, even if they were the only source, which obviously they weren't. Boeing, Hawaiian and every other operator would also have to be in on it to complete the conspiracy.

I'm calling it. Time of rumor death: 19:32Z
How can it be too senior if 85% of the pilot group gets the top 12 year pay?

We signed a firm deal for all 88 airframes. Delta does not have to fly them but we will be making the lease payments.

Was this LCA standing outside of a Taco Bell in downtown Atlanta?

I'm surprised the employee relations dept at Delta didn't seize upon on this opportunity. Just one of the guys. Group hug!
