This group is educated, but not to the extent that we are. More emotion would play in to it, and there could be major headaches for them going forward. What I want them to do is immaterial. I do have an opinion though. (I can argue both sides of it too!)

Yep, the LAX 73N category has really taken a hit since I came out here a year and a half ago. The trips used to be very good and well-paying. Now, they're mostly redeyes out of LAX and some decent stuff out of SNA. 85% used to hold a line, that's come way down now to around 60% or so. I haven't really figured out why. I just know I'm backsliding and on my way out probably. Looking at the little bus in SLC.
Buzz,
Didn't you hear? ATL is losing widebody seats - nobody cares about us peasants in the provinces.

And where is this unfair to anybody?
Add to it that if (god forbid it would) there ever was a problem with the aircraft, wouldn't a senior guy be far better to have on a DC-9 and a younger guy (with much better understanding of data) be far better to have on a 777 or similar ac?
So, yes, the conclusion I come up with is that everybody wins and you are junior when you are junior, just like you are supposed to be (like me..).

Is this really a problem at DAL - with 10 year + upgrade times?

YES!!!
Hey NuGuy, I got BidAsstant 3 to load and it does use all the Delta stuff great.
Thanks for turning me on to it, I saw the beta version for it but just thought it was something for old NWA since I hadn't updated in a while.
You da man!

PS Hey Southies...........go look at ghale.com It's a great program. For sorting etc it's about like NavTec but the post award products are much better. Plus, it's a onetime charge to buy the program in the stopover store and free upgrades after that. I had version 2 so version 3 was free.
