Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Is there that much traffic there? Here in Texas we oversell every aircraft and beg for more. We could kick SWA and CAL out of SAT if we flew to more hubs direct.

I agree 100%

3 RJ's a day from the 4th largest city in the country (IAH) to MEM is ridiculous. 1 flight a day to JFK and nothing to LGA or EWR. Most of our other city pairs out of IAH are RJ's with a few mainline planes. I'm sure we could add an LAX to IAH and fill it up also considering all of CAL's flights are maxed out.

I agree 100%.

At all my substandard previous employers all I heard all the time was - "you are just not senior enough!"
It is the way for management to justify crappy place to work.
Lets not bring it to Delta.

Did they change the airport identifier from GSO to PTI?

Not that I am aware of, but it has been years since I have been there.

Then why is it being referred to as PTI? Is it maybe like Denver and Kansas City where the locals refer to it as DIA and KCI when the identifiers are actually DEN and MCI? Not that it really matters that much... :)

Just local yocal terminology for it. The code is still GSO...

It's referred to as piedmont triad because it's a tri-cities area...
