Denny...Yes Delta will start paying the tax again on July 1 I believe. Long story short is the the tax break was approved but only for a short amount of time and then it was up to the legislature to then extend the breaks longer or permanently and they failed to do so before the session was over so the tax break expired. I could see Delta adding future international destinations in other cities just to spite Georgia.

Thanks for putting it into words a History major can understand and thank goodness I’ve never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed!

I was just perusing the bid packages, and noticed that LAX 7ER B has tons of transcon deadheads to ATL on both ends that then fly a double Europe out and back. Is this odd? Is LAX getting a disproportionate amount of ATL 7ER international flying? Seems like a big waste of credit to me.

Any thoughts?

I know. Just seems weird. Maybe all those 7er additions to Atlanta are going to take this over when they get here.

didn't they say for the AE that the expansion in ATL was for the BOS europe flying? I'm sure that plan has changed 20 times since then though.

If that is the case, why are only some bases of a fleet required to get visas for certain countries while other bases of the same fleet are not required to obtain certain visas?
