I've been thinking recently that flying for the new Delta - a domestic narrowbody airline - will have its perks:
- Less time zone recovery between trips
- Still a good mix of airplanes (single fleet type might get boring)
- Profits will only go up as the high paying WB jobs go to our code share / JV partners (well, that one is only good for mgt and shareholders...maybe we should go to longevity based pay?)
- As we do less and less intl on DL metal, mgt will hopefully gift us with some nonrev agreements (similar to the new Virgin Atlantic one) that will allow us to still travel internationally at reduced rates.
- Lots of people don't want to do those 18-hour leg, 9-day months anyhow
- Don't have to worry about currency conversion or power adapters
- More legs per day is more landing practice!
- Short domestic trips will allow commuters to practice their commute more often, so they'll get better at it.

FYI, NYC 7ERA is out by the backdoor. Just remember to lube up.
For the unstacking at the end of the month!
