I am not an expert, but am pretty sure a large number of the LGA slots are dedicated to certain cities, like a hold over from old mail contracts and (I forget what you call it) the gov't subsidized small city air service.

I like Apple's newest iPhone commercial. It has a subliminal Fly Delta message on the apps. ;-)

EAS - Essential Air Service?

What's the likelihood that I'll see any of those new hire FA's on the 777?
About the same as me seeing them on the 747.

Dude,

You want us to get Kyle Orton or Rex Grossman back? No way. Beggars can't be choosers. We have to keep Cutler, they did pretty good with him.

For a team that I had pegged for a 7-9 season, the Bears exceeded my career expectations and I got a windfall. Hey, where are those mean SWA FO's anyway? I miss the AirTran thread.

You guys on the big jets do NOT get to see the new FAs.. Gotta leave something for us not on the supre premium stuff, so we better get the eye candy.

Looks like that decision to not let Favre run your organization turned out to be a good one.
Great sportsmanship New! Thought we had it wrapped up at the half but your boy Kaleb or Caleb or whatever played well. It was nice winning the Halas Trophy to now be able to pursue the Lomabardi Trophy. Looks, at this point, like Packers-Steelers, which will be another chapter of good old heartland hard-nosed football.

The beers are on me when our paths cross.

Oooppss...check that, Jets just scored to close it to 24-10. Still a game. Pack beat the Jets earlier this year in NY. Lost a great game to Pittsburgh last year in Pittsburgh. Should be fun.

PS Just checked Super Bowl tickets on StubHub. They start at $3800 per. Don't think my current FO pay can meet that.
