that's a lie. I look back all of the time with a "damnit."
Then I got to 33 and realized I can still walk just fine, never had a head injury and I'm becoming okay with it.

Actually, many of the pairing that have flying in and out of ATL do not have DH's in them (at least on the MSP 320). In the first half of your comment you say that because there is a lot of flying in and out of ATL, there will be a base there which will save DAL money yet at the end you say just because the 320 does a lot of flying in NYC, there isn't any talk of a base there because it is not efficient. This appears to be some very good double talk. Are you working on your campaign for a position in congress or DALPA?
Many of the rotations have a DH, fly to a city then in to the ATL network or have ATL layos.
I prefer to keep the airplanes where they are, but it is not my call!
Just telling you what the CPO's and leaders are stating as the reason for the moved in the base visiting.
I looked at the rotations, and yeah there are a lot of ATL layo, some DH's and a lot of ATL flying. I would submit that there is more of that in these airplanes than the MD88 or 73N NYC.

Cycle, it's Newk we're talking about, it's 80 kts "go for throttle up" which means max thrust.

(A June 2011 bid or an after summer bid fits nicely with their commentary.)
As of late, there were approx. 18-24 daily NYC departures on the M88 and about 53 daily departures on the 320 fleet in NYC.
Base will come the CPO says, its just a matter of when. Its said there is concern with lot of training created from M88 guys living in BOS jumping ship to the 320 to get the layos at home on the shuttle back.
Add to it that the slot swap isn't done, and there will be even more M88 and 320 flying that will influence how to staff bases appropriately.

I have to disagree on that one. It has been spoken of repeatedly in the CPO office over the past year but it was more in the "longview", not until at least mid/late 2011.

I guess when they had newhires going into 73n and 7er, as things started to change there was alot of additional training that went on, bogging down the schoolhouse.
I knew guys that started in the ER, got displaced to the 73n, and then got displaced again to the M88 all the the space of 1-2 years.
That seems like alot of additional training expenses, I'd imagine the big AE that is looming on the horizon will more than likely bring the 320 to other bases, while I could see some of the M88 becoming a little more centralized.
Just a guess...

I can't count frequencies though, thats too much. Just look at it this way, we have about 8200 flights. Not every day, not every week. Just 8200 flights numbers out of ATL.
Of those 8200, 28% belong to the 88. Almost 8% by the 737. And 3% by the A320. 34% are done by DCI. 757 has a chunk there too before you count in the international birds. It may be an accurate indication of the %'s when it comes to actual movements.
I was told in the summer of 2010 the goal was to have 50% of the takeoffs and landings in ATL by all airlines be by Delta MD88s. Gosh it could've been by you ACL or a LCA that told me that, don't recall.
