I don't see how it will be a blood bath but am adjusting my MD on it because of what y'all are saying.
Mainly because the "AE can't cause an MD" rule doesn't apply and neither do freezes. SLC7ER is a new category.
Its in the west. Its "widebody". Its Boeing. Its gonna have some international.
Senior Northwest guys will be coming in plus a few DAL.
Open question is - how many?

My wild guess - 25 Captains + 30 FOs will be displaced.

It affects more towards the junior half of the seniority list. We still have a few SLC locals (CA and FO) that are stuck in MSP sitting reserve because when they closed up SLCM88, and now with this 767 to 7ER bid, it's gonna create more or less of the same effect just like last time. The whale openings sure look sweet, but if you ask most SLC locals, they'd be happy driving to work, fly their narrow 757/767 till they retire.

Thanks. Big swell this winter.

The Great Lakes appear to be flat, I hear the water is cold, but the sun is out.

Yup, I was so I guess that's why they're gone. Thanks Mr Clamp

Default Line holder to reserve...

Quick question. If I am a lineholder in Sept. and want to bid a reserve line for Oct., and have a trip that carries out, what happens to my two days of work, and 13:50 of credit that I bring in from Sept?

Looks like it's just for inter island flying.


ATLANTA and HONOLULU, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Airlines and Delta Air Lines today announced the signing of a new codesharing agreement that will offer Delta's customers access to connecting flights within the Hawaiian Islands for the first time.

Beginning Sept. 15, customers will be able to connect between their Delta flights and 70 daily inter-island flights operated by Hawaiian Airlines on a single ticket. Hawaiian flights will connect Delta customers between Honolulu and Kahului, Lihue, Kona and Hilo, as well as between Kona and Kahului. Fares will be available for sale at delta.com and other ticketing channels Sept. 12.

"While Delta is already a leader in service to Hawaii, with flights between the islands and 9 cities in the U.S. and Japan, this new codeshare agreement with Hawaiian Airlines will allow customers to connect beyond our main Hawaiian gateways to 5 popular vacation points beyond," said Charlie Pappas, Delta's managing director – Alliances.

Delta this fall will offer nonstop service between Honolulu and Atlanta; Detroit; Los Angeles; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Seattle; San Francisco; and Salt Lake City. It also offers nonstop service between Los Angeles and Kahului airport in Maui, Lihue and Kona, and daily nonstop flights between Honolulu and Tokyo-Narita and Osaka, Japan. Delta also has announced plans to add new nonstop flights between Honolulu and Nagoya, Japan, effective Dec. 22.

Hawaiian and Delta's new codesharing agreement expands on an earlier frequent flier agreement between the two carriers that allows their respective frequent flier members to earn and redeem miles for travel on either carrier. Delta and Hawaiian have also agreed to enhance award availability by allowing SkyMiles members to book additional redemption awards on inter-island flights operated by Hawaiian. SkyMiles members will now have access to enhanced availability of awards within the islands of Hawaii.

If this codeshare tactic isn't the latest front of the battle, i don't know what is. Stand fast.
