There you have it. Back to the ER bid.

Keep up the good flow of info team!

Baja.
Seemed a little off base. I am sure they are looking at a 320 base in ATL and somewhere else, but to move all of those jets to SLC would be just plain weird. The synergies of this merger are all in the dynamics of flexibility of the fleet.

I'd be less surprised by an NYC or ATL 320 base, especially with them flying the shuttle stuff now.

I finally just got in home and got to watch the interview on tivo, that was awesome Buzz. I thought it was great. I guess timely.

I have a question and I want to try and stay apolitical here, but this is important, you talked about the attempt to appease terrorists, do you think, knowing all that you know now, that airline pilots can ever be appeased?

Default DC-9-30's

Well looks like 4 DC-9-30's will be flown into retirement today.... Delta flight 9934, 9935, 9936, and 9938. Maybe the MD-90's were just put into service.

I know that has to be a bummer, New talked about it at the beginning of the weekend when he realized that may be it.

FLY DC JETS!

World peace = possible.

Appeasing airline pilots = not a chance in hell.

That's an awesome quote!

I started MSP320 today, ran that rumor by instructor and he looked at me like I had 3 heads.
