I was told the 16th initially, but then Friday. In the end it will arrive one way or another

Does it really make any sense to pull down ATL, the most profitable hub?

We can probably shift some of the flying with no impact on profitability, which would allow for more on time departures/arrivals and better lost luggage figures.

I bet we are all sitting on the couch, watching fox news and posting one liners so we could hit that 20000 post mark. I for one am an APC addict!!! ACL is the dealer and he gets all the repeat business.

They are not pulling down the flying in the hub, just personnel.

For a second lets just think.

Putting 767 flying on the 755 makes a lot of sense as the will be ER pilots, we are transitioning to an all ER category and these guys in DTW will be ER as soon as they have their bounces. It save a ton of training cost on TOE!

Just because they transfer flying to a different hub doesn't mean they are cutting flights in ATL. We could still fly the time only thru Atlanta instead of starting and finishing there.
