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

Woo hoo! 4 more CRJ-700's coming to Delta! Oh... wait.

I assume they are allowed into scope because they will be outfitted with less than 70 seats with the first class?

Good question. Nope they are part of the 255. Ref Section one.

Are they new, or new to the airline that is getting em? Retreads if you will. I do not think we are past the high water mark on mainline jets. With Freedom going there might be a flex there.

Green Slip question

Is a Green Slip assignment under 12 hrs.notification a proffer?

ex Horizon birds going to ASA. Getting refurbed at PEMCO.

It is growth of large RJ operations. Not based on the Freedom pull down.

Surprised we need more RJ's :rolleyes:

Bar;
I am to lazy to dig though my data, so tell me.

How many Freedom 70+seat jets are getting parked?

Is there an issue here or no?

I am guessing not.

The seven CRJ-900s were returned to Delta with no further financial obligation to Mesa. They were being operated by Pinnacle Airlines until they receive the last of their CRJ-900s orders. After that, 5 are operated by Mesaba Airlines. The other 2 are operated by Atlanta based Atlantic Southeast Airlines.

These 5 additional jets are new flying. Airplanes coming out of the Horizon fleet.

It seems like we were 13 under the cap. Now make that 8. BUT THAT IS OFF THE CUFF & NOT VERIFIED.

ASA recalling to staff the new flying for Delta.

I've been that F/O before. To top it off a flight attendant came up to the cockpit with an iced down towel and put it on my neck. I love the Pan Am gals in NYC. Time may have taken it's toll on looks, but they still have great personalities.
