Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Subsequently, I found this picture:
Really doesn't have anything to do with anything, but I should have cleaned up the douche posts that were still "hanging around." No bias here.... just wasn't around.
One variable to this moving flying to Atlanta discussion that I've not seen discussed is the addition of International concourse F. Although 12 to 16 gates might not sound like much, it relocates jets that do not have a lot of movements out of T concourse and other areas at the airport that are scheduled for much tighter turns, leveraging their new found availability. Delta's challenge, with Southwest coming to town, is going to be to fill Hartsfield Jackson back up again, as it has always done to both maximize connecting opportunities for passengers and keep out competitors.
Specs for the new facility, set to go on line in April 2012 are:
* 1.2 million square-foot terminal and concourse complex, large enough to accommodate 13 New World of Coke museums
* 12 wide-body capable international gates, convertible to 16 narrow-body capable gates
* In-line baggage screening system
* 9 security checkpoint lanes for international departing passengers
* 6 security recheck lanes for domestic connecting passengers
* 1,100 short-term parking spaces in close proximity to the terminal
* New facility will ease load on existing domestic gates by providing gate capacity during international non-peak times

By the way, I think I have our IROPS issue solved. Especially when gates become an issue.

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but has to check when you say the paint is wet?

OMG I know, a friend of mine over there actually thinks AT pilots should, and by decree will, be both stapled and all be made to do a year of probation so the ones that aren't "RSWA" can be cleansed from the system. I kid you not.
It's a Saturday night and well, the regulars are here in force...

Whenever the AirTran Windfall and SLI thread slows to a crawl, please post that.

I just watched the union video. KR talked about our dues money and contingency funds. I guess we have some extra funds for section 6 but what happened to all the money we had deducted to cover merger fighting? Is there any left? Do we get some back? Does the money just roll into the section 6 funds? Inquiring minds want to know.
The monies ( one million for each side) were collect and placed in a separate independent fund from the MEC's finances. These monies will be used to pay for disputes as determined by the DRC. Long story short the SLI funds are not part of the MEC surplus or regular budget.
