Atlanta Airport Budget Problems May Mean Hike In Parking Fees - Video - WSB Atlanta

KATL is $40,000,000.00 in the hole this year. Looking to lay off staff and increase fees. Atlanta trying to renegotiate "Sweetheart deal" with Delta Airlines.

Affirmative. No fanfare, no pomp nor circumstance. Just gone. I flew with a CA last week that had just completed recurrent and he told me to stop. Not that I'd ever really started. :D

So now maybe we can get two copies of the release.


(Not that I ever stopped asking for two. :D )

It's still in the -88 Vol 1 as of today. Maybe they haven't updated the online docs yet...

Anyone care to speculate how the SEA ER spots will affect SLC and MSP? I'm thinking that some of the FNWA 320 pilots that commuted from the west coast that took the 320 in SLC last bid will take the ER in SEA opening up backfill in SLC for those on the M88 that got booted off and sent to MSP on the M88. That will open MSPM88 fairly junior, unless those FDAL ATLM88 commuters from the midwest see the same thing and bail from ATL to MSP leaving it about the same as we saw last bid. What do y'all think?

The great westward migration?

That is what I hope will happen. I am trying to get to SEA but I figure even if I cannot get there on this bid, which I dont really expect to, the openings in SEA should loosen things up in LAX and SLC.

Where are the Cincy guys going to go? Will they move to DTW or will that be too senior and force them to NY ER? NY is wonderful! Come on guys the ER rocks! (trying to get md'd to the 73...)

Sat,
I beleive there is only going to be one flight a day from CVG to LGA on a mainline jet. If that rumor is true many will be going to ATL.

Yeah, one mainline a day to NYC just isn't enough.

JetBlue just teamed up with South African. We pull out of South Africa just in time for the World Cup and JB moves in. I hope those wizards of smart know what they are doing...
