Thanks, I didn't think of looking in the reasons report. I'll go there and take a gander.
Thank you

-Next bid in April to May time frame
-Looking at a new A320 base. ATL good possibility (currently 30-40 A319/320 departures from there) but NYC also in the running depending on final outcome of slot swap.
-Also looking at a new base for the 330.
-744 will be status quo (though this was well before the Japan Crisis)
-CVG will be status quo (i.e. no new 320 category, no drawdown on 73N)
-767 to 7ER conversion pushed to end 2012 or 2013. Management wanted conversion quickly for flexibility, but now realizes that there’s a cost for that training, and wants to slow down the conversion. For now, when bodies are needed on the 76, they will go to the ER category.
-Not setting up bases to be 100% where the flying is, but rather ensuring proper coverage to respond to network’s changes.

You bring up a good point regarding the next AE, I am sure they have probably delayed it until the Slot Swap deal becomes official. If anything it shows that they are probably close to coming to a settlement on it.
Not sure how much hiring has been going on, but I get the impression it has slowed dramatically for the time being. I could see the summer schedule keeping most guys busy, maybe even a few GS here and there for some.

$244 million mega millions. i may drop the idea of refurbishing that Delta DC3 and go for the jugular and restore a DC-8 or an 880! 
And just to show I'm not biased to just DALS history I'll toss in a NWA Boeing 377.

$2 won't buy a Lamborghini. Especially a $750,000 one. Nor would it allow you to destory it with a sledge hammer to show your frustration with the dealership....
Odd. I thought China was a communist country? Lamborghini dealership?
A businessman from the city of Qingdao in eastern China bought the souped-up Italian sports car in October for about $750,000, but that didn't stop him from reducing it to pile of scrap metal on Tuesday -- World Consumer Rights Day.
Han Nan, the Lamborghini's owner, returned the flashy vehicle to the dealership in November to correct an engine malfunction. But the car came back from the garage in worse shape with a damaged bumper and chassis, the Daily Record said.
Subsequent arguments that Han had with the managers at the dealership and Lamborghini officials went nowhere.
Han, an entrepreneur with a wholesale lighting company, turned his personal frustration into a public spectacle. Crowds gasped as the demolition crew clad in blue uniforms and helmets totaled the car on the streets. At one point, the workers handed over the sledgehammers to the spectators and allowed them to join in the frenzy by climbing on top of the Lamborghini and smashing it.

There's "communism" for the working class, and "communism" for the party members. My dad did some biz av consulting work in China, and the biggest Capitalists in the country were the generals and party leaders.
