Gotta buy some Boeing's if we want the clout to get all 30 gates in SEA..

Thanks for the info!

That's pretty much status quo in busy holiday months. Unless we're overmanned, that's not going to change.

Isn't Boeings hq in Chicago now?

Doesn't boeing do nonunion 787 final assembly in CHS now?

I think Microsoft will have more sway for gates. Not Bill Gates.

???? Why

With that reasoning we should be looking to expand ORD and CHS more than SEA.

I think expanding ORD is a great idea!! Just enough to open a 7ER and 717 catagory.

Too bad DAL gave away the concourse they built.

That's exactly WHY you are a new hire, because they are short staffed in the narrow bodies.

We are overstaffed on the 747 with displacements coming though, so you've got that going for you.

ftb really needs to find more productive things to do on his layovers.
