Virtually everything being talked about on the forum is discussed in this letter. Everyone should take the time to read it. One tidbit, 717 flying may be headed to the west coast but will be staffed out of DTW. No West base.

Just read that. Good info and they explained the contingent awards much better than they did when they released the bid.

Looks like Porsche is going to be joined by Mercedes in Atlanta. Wonder if we will get into a bidding war for who drives around our VIPs.

Doesn't matter, Mercedes or Porsche, at some point one of those Atlanta Delta tugs will kick their ass.

It's how we roll as an airline.

For the month of February there is a ton of new MSP flying on the 717 in the ATL bid packet. And DTW flying. I guess that frees DTW up to do west coast flying.

They implied that if a decision is made to fly the west with the aircraft they would add staffing in DTW to cover the flying.

I wonder how they plan to get the 717 crews from DTW to the West Coast since DTW direct to the West Coast probably turns the 717 into a



far short of the West Coast. AUS? MSP?

They said the aircraft would be routed to the west coast via DTW. Hence the decision to put the crews there. Lots of ways to route the airplanes. Lots of possible combos like DTW-DIA-SLC or just DTW to SLC or DTW to any of the Montana airports then west ect....

Okay, I uninstalled the DA. I reinstalled DA. All I get is a message: synchronizing. I'm in an endless loop. What am I doing wrong?

That's about the only good news in DTW.
The 73 is staffed right at 95 crews
the 75 is over staffed looking for 130 crews
No backfilling on the 75,330,777.

No love for the future of Detroit. In about 5 years no 747 so the only wide body in DTW will be 330 and maybe 777
