I suffer from gigantic fat finger feathers. I cannot sex text, yet. However, if I can get a hold of 80's ipad...

Not really rocket science stuff here ;-)
Lots of red lines going North South pre Alaska JV, then lots of green lines
Of course this is still a fraction of the 180+ departures Western had from LAX when Delta bought it.
Here's what Delta pilots used to fly North South from LAX pre Alaska JV:
LAX PDX
LAX SEA
LAX SFO
LAX BOI
LAX GEG

LAX PDX
LAX SEA (except 1 mainline for a brief period)
LAX SFO
LAX BOI
LAX GEG
Several of these routes were not even DCI routes - ExpressJet flew them at risk (GEG, EUG, etc...) and Delta merely marketed the flights. ExpressJet even set the fares.

This rings sadly of the NWA/Republic merger. I really don't want to go down THAT road, but unfortunately it would be nothing close to a merger of equals. And even if this ever happens, I still think the ploy of "super premium" was the stupidest thing I ever heard. Simply "widebody" would suffice in this case.
I'm not sure if you are talking about a possible Alaska or HA merger, but if it was Alaska, I have a feeling you would be the first one to use the word "super." Why?
Because they would argue that there 737's are equal to our 757's and 757er's.
I think we would all agree that those airplanes and pilots are "super" and shouldn't be mixed with Alaska 737 pilots. Or, am I wrong?

Hi, first time poster here, Delta 2001 hire/furlough then mil-leave to now guy. I'm looking to retire from USAF and end mil leave, return to Delta around Feb 11. Need some advice on which plane and where.
I just looked at the new AE projected cat list and did some spreadsheet work. Here's the info:
1. Live in Phoenix. Want to stay there and commute.
2. Small kids, want to have max time home. Don't know if a line's predictability is better than reserve.
3. My percentiles I can hold from the AE projected cat list Apr 11:
LAX7ER B 96%
LAX37N B 88%
SLC7ER B 98%
SLC37N B 63%
MSP7ER B 79%
All 320 fleet B in DTW/MSP/SLC about 61%-66%
MSPM88 B 27%
So... What do I tell them I want to fly when I call in to rejoin? I'm leaning towards 7ER out of LAX, 96% and sitting reserve, but I've heard it's doable from Phoenix? The drive is 6 hours and there are like 50 flights a day PHX-LAX. But then I read on here how much reserve commuting sux, and I think maybe holding a SLC37N at 63% and a line would be better?
Any advice you guys might offer would be great, this is the first real reading I've done since the old furlough lists and I don't really know/understand the reserve requirements vs. lineholder advantages.
Thanks!
