Sage advice.....trust but verify.

Although the summer is far away, from the AE I think the LGA flying will flown from ATL. The ATL M88 category has a growth of 24 As and 34 Bs. NYC only has 7 As and 9 B's.

In the Investor Day talk yesterday, Glen said the additional LGA flying is going to connect LGA with the old US Air cities in the NE. Most of the flights would be to the NW (aka: BUF, SYR, Toronto), N (Albany, Burlington, Montreal) and NE (Portland, Bangor, Manchester, Boston). He said that Delta has always had good feed from the south, but they envisioned LGA being mostly O/D traffic - 75%. It would be larger RJs or smaller mainline aircraft. The existing feed to the South (DCA, Florida, etc) would help improve the 25% some, because USAir didn't have much connecting traffic (I think USAir flew to their hubs in the south, while we serve MIA, TPA, MCO, etc from LGA).

THAT was funny!....Especially if you aren't Continental.:D

Schedules
 

What's up with the schedules this morning? Not one category at any DAL-N base is done. Only DAL-S positions. :confused:

I don't think anyone here takes everything that is typed here as the truth. For one to do so is just silly, and will drive one to their grave.

The DC-9's are unfortunately not coming back, but the 757's can easily come right back out of the desert. I too am disappointed that the Freighter Fleet is being retired, but it is what it is.

Now, I'm not sure why you're saying that 1+1=3 shouldn't mean huge displacement bids like the one coming up. I see WB positions being awarded in NYC, DTW, and most likely in some other places too. The WB flying in ATL is not being terminated, it's simply being shifted to other bases. There are also more postitions available on this AE then surpluses, so I don't agree with your assessment. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems as if your implying that these displacments would be setting up for the F bomb, but the problem with that is there are WB positions being awarded. Also, there are new positions availabe on the 320 and 737. They are not just shoving a bunch of guys down to the MD88 or DC9. If I saw that, then I may be a little less optimistic.

That being said, I never forget that a furlough is always a possibility but I refuse to live my life in a constant state of fear. I'm not saying you do, I'm just saying I won't.

Here's to more WB positions in ATL soon, and here's to a profitable 2010.

Cheers :)

I think they were done but they pulled them. I got mine, now it's gone. When they come out again, will someone please alert us on here?

(I know ACL! :D)

Can you tell us? Some of us don't have the opportunity to see the ATL CPO folks with the schedules we fly.

Not true - the B744 is done, DC9A is done, MEM and MSP DC9 is done, and MSP A330A is done.

Some other Airbus categories were done but pulled beacuse of a mistake or something. (very rare, never happened to my category).

I think you can be fairly confident his initials are BO.;)
