Wow. Basically, everything you know is wrong:
The death of DCI has been greatly exaggerated.
No hapless newhires to bail you out of reserve in 2011.
The fog is getting thicker...and Memphis is getting LARGER!
Nothing will be done to avoid a repeat of Snowmageddon, Yuletide Edition.
Delta IT is sprinting ahead of the Amish by leaps and bounds!

Hiring: no new hires budgeted in 2011. Might change once 2012 numbers are projected later this year
IROP lesson: larger bases more able to recover. Therefore, MEM will see more reserves in the future, DTW/MSP less.
ATL: needs 25 ice pads to accomodate last Christmas storm. Not gonna happen. Getting two more tops.
New Flight Planning software: RFP already out. Possible decision this Spring.
Technology in general: substantive changes should start showing up this summer. Moving to paperless and ease of use. Would like total revamp within 3 years.

I'm not arguing that the AS Codeshare doesn't hurt us. I was merely clearing up a misunderstanding.

Even if AS were permitted those AC (they're not) the seats available for DL code would be capped at 50%. In other words, a 70 seat RJ can produce a max of 35 "Delta" seats flying for AS...
