The only one missing that I can think of is ATL-LAX-SYD

Yep, but it is not all growth a/c, so expect some frequency pull down of other markets.
The 777 will be growth, that is it for now....

Yep that one is to be done next July. It was on the line. Market kind of stinks now, but they wanted to do it to be a World Airline.

I was looking for BUD.

I would expect an AE now that some of the route are announced.

So now are we back to the AE being out by Friday?? :)

God I hope so. I should know something one way or another in the next 12-24 hrs.

More good news from the DeltaNet:

Delta Cargo awarded CRAF cargo missions
November 12, 2008


We're launching a series of military cargo charter flights this week under the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program that’s expected to earn us $9 million during the coming year. The flights will transport military equipment and supplies to U.S. forces deployed in the Middle East. The missions will be flown between McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey and Kuwait using Boeing 747-200 freighters gained as part of our merger with Northwest.

Six missions are scheduled by the end of the year, and we hope to be awarded 75 additional missions for next year, said Cesar MartiGarro, general manager-network planning, freighters for Delta Cargo.

"This is a big milestone for us, something our group has been working on for more than a year," Cesar said. "The program will utilize one 747-200 freighter year round, and we estimate a positive contribution of about $9 million through next year."

Didn't see any of that new -ER flying out of CVG in the press release, so does that mean for the upcoming AE the -ER categories in NYC and ATL will be larger, or is it a zero sum for those two categories?

That is good news!! The more whales the better. We need to keep the cargo ops alive and well.
