Unlike the 88, the 90 will capture without the ALT lite being armed.

The new ER interior looks nice, but man that front galley looks huge now. Be nice to non rev on it, and seems to be similar to the 787 interior.

I don't know. We've got four things that might influence hiring sooner than later.

1. LGA slot swap
2. Aircraft orders (though this will be down the line)
3. New FAA crew rest guidelines
4. Age 65 guys

The early outs could be absorbed by the capacity pull down but at some point we're going to need to get ahead-of-the-ball for some of these other reasons. If Delta waits until the 65ers are forced out training would be full for quite sometime just with new hires. Seems like they'd have to start hiring early and have the guys on the payroll so when the big numbers start falling we're not starting from scratch.

Am I missing something?

Yea, MGT's plans for loosening of scope...

If Delta is going to be the ever shrinking airline post - merger, then it is a valid consideration.

If we won't build a model where we do our flying, then it is just a waiting game with a pretty certain conclusion. No airline in history has ever shrunk its way to profitability and we're unlike to be the first. That is what the market is smelling and the aroma is not putting them in a buying mood.

Does this mean as a new guy I should start looking elsewhere before I get any seniority here? Two guys from my new hire class jumped ship to Southwest already. Atlas is still looking for ex-heavy mil guys. (Sarcasm included)
