I guess it would be a good time to do this since the Runway is closed anyway and JFK has asked Delta to run a lighter schedule till June.

Like I stated a few days ago, go ask the Port Authority. They are the ones holding it up.

And just because I am in a MOOD tonight. Fly to DFW talk to the gate agents and ask them how many MD-90's worth of flying they are getting, and when the deal to move certain assets around out there will be official. It all is tied together.

I hope they will make a long "pier" out of T3 (gates on both sides, room for a lot of AC there), then make a rail, inside of security, to LGA from T3 or T4. We will then name our terminals "Deltaworld JFK 1, Deltaworld JFK 2,......... Deltaworld LGA 1, ...... Deltaworld Airtrain. Now that would simplify our NYC operations to a level worthy of the worlds largest airline.

Richard are you reading this?

Missed one thing Richard also said we expect DOJ approval of the USAIR LGA swap in FEB

from Richard's chat: How about DFW as a hub - small hub to compete with AA?

No. Never.

Not mincing words, eh?

Just like there never was going to be a merger. :eek:


Not saying there is going to be a pilot base there. We are going to see an increase of flying. To quote a public source (gate agents and others out there) we are gaining to a total of 10 to 20 gates, support space, moving a few tenants, maybe a mtc hanger, going to see 16 MD-90's flying city pair out there etc. I bet we would see a FA base before a pilot base.

If you are watching my feet, I am not selling my house in GA. If they do base FA's out of there, it at a min helps our 600+ commuters get to work. That at a min is a good thing.

Actually,

It's gotten way worse - I'm a 10 year FO and still 500 numbers from reserve 88 CAPT NY.

Right now, not planning on making CAPT at DAL - career FO.

Oh Well.
