Well for Enplanements for October of 2009
1) SWA 8.8M
2) AMR 7.1M
3) Delta 5.7M
4) UAL 4.7M
5) USAir 4.2M
6) CAL 3.5M
7) NWA 3.1M
8) AirTran 1.995M
9) Skywest 1.9M
10) Jetblue 1.7M
Add NWA and Delta and you have 8.9M, so we're bigger than SWA right?
International AMR had, in those numbers above, 1.543M travel international and we had 951K followed by CAL at 864K and UAL 859K. NWA comes in at 604K so add NWA and DAL and you get 1.555M, yeah we win.
International airports in terms of volume from, not just Oct 09, but Jan 09-Oct 09 is MIA (4.1M), JFK (3.6M), ATL (3.3M), EWR (3.3M), IAH (2.6M), ORD (2.5M), DFW (1.6M), PHL (1.4M), IAD (1.3M) and SFO (1.3M).
I'm still trying to figure out which airline is #1 in airports served... or did I miss the answer?

I filled out the Automatic reimbursement form so it should get done automatically. Do you fax your receipts in and whom do you fax them to. This is being made MUCH more difficult then it should be and needs to be addressed. My regional airline had better health care (and cheaper) and you could actually USE your card with no hassle what so ever

Delta buys 9 MD-90s from China Eastern
January 15, 2010
Delta is adding nine MD-90 aircraft purchased from China Eastern Airlines to its fleet, an acquisition that will make Delta the world’s second-largest operator of the aircraft.
Delta will receive the aircraft between February and July. Two additional MD-90s will be delivered from Boeing Capital, a division of the aircraft manufacturer, which will bring the total to 11 of the aircraft added to the fleet this year.
“Those MD-90s are quite flexible because they fit in our network,” said Hank Halter, Delta’s chief financial officer, at a recent event for Delta investors. “We’re not looking to grow capacity, but when there’s very inexpensive opportunities for lift, such as the MD-90, we’ll certainly consider it.”
The airplanes are the most efficient narrowbody aircraft in Delta’s fleet, Hank said, and provide a cost-effective tool for managing Delta’s capacity. The purchase will not add to Delta’s capacity, but will partially offset the reduction of DC-9s and regional jets in the fleet.
The current seating configuration for the aircraft is 150, with 12 in first class and 138 in coach. All of the jets will be upgraded with brand-new interiors before entering service.
Once the aircraft are received, Delta will have 28 MD-90s, the second-largest fleet in the world after Saudi Arabian Airlines, which has 29.

I like how it is to "partially" offset reductions in our fleet.
