Every aircraft manufacturer appears to be active in the bidding. They do not however appear to be looking at a 100 seat jet. The low end on size will be in the 130 seat range. First deliveries were requested in the RFP for 2013. |

Is the 88 in ATL really that junior? Really I find that hard to believe!

Embraer is hoping to sell up to 100 regional jets to Delta as replacements for the airline's aging fleet. More important, industry analysts said, Embraer hopes an initial contract for the regional aircraft will improve its chance of winning other contracts with Delta and other North American airlines. Delta is understood to be planning to purchase up to 400 jets but hasn't announced potential suppliers. Embraer officials indicated that although they remained optimistic Delta was holding talks with "everyone" -- an international range of suppliers. |

It's amazing what he can do despite half his body immobilized:
Bar, you forgot, despite the drama and baggage issues both Lindsay and the 88 had enhancements! http://www.findmysurgeon.com/blog/wp...n-boob-job.jpg and http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/Temp1-10.jpg Guess I'm old fashioned! Bring on the Convairs!:D |

It has not been particularly easy to get into Atlanta, even if seniority would hold it. Atlanta had fewer slots to AE into until this most recent bid. |
Here's a fun question.....
Do all the lump sum early retirement dollars get deducted from our profit sharing at the end of the year? Secondly, do the early outs get a profit sharing check for the months they are working in 2011 or are they excluded because they didn't work the whole year? Sailing, Bar, slow, whatever handle K.P. uses on here? |

When I went through the process, we were told that if you were not hired based upon the HR panel interview, you can not interview again for Delta as a pilot.
Does doing any Interview Prep (for Delta interviews) help or hinder? Marty!! |

(I'm no expert and could be wrong) |
