Quick question, don't we get 6 golden days a month? Just checked my September schedule and it only has 5. I do have recurrent sims does that have anything to do with it? Thanks.

Look at page 4 or 5 in the bid pack. That shows the table for X days, golden days, days available to work, etc.

I wonder what kind of "rest facility" they bought of on... Domestic first class don't cut it... ESPECIALLY under the proposed rest rules (One good thing that will come out of that)

Yep, 739s is what bloomberg is saying. Hopefully this is someone talking out of hand and isn't exactly in the know because this would to me be very disappointing.
The 737-900?
Well let's talk about the pro's. It's a narrow seating aircraft so it's really great for small people. It's low riding, which means there is no room for engine improvement. It's very long, so it takes forever to get off of and it's limited due to tail strikes on rotation. It has a cockpit that complies with SWA demands to have commonality with a 30 year old design. It's a longer version of an airplane we stopped ordering.
It will replace the 757.
Blah.
Two thumbs down.

Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) plans to order 100 Boeing Co. (BA) 737 single-aisle jets, a deal with a list value of about $8.58 billion, in a rebuff to Airbus SAS, two people familiar with the matter said.
Delta’s order would be for 737-900ER extended-range jets, and the Atlanta-based company’s board will vote on the matter later this week, said one of the people, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
Delta doesn’t comment on its plans for aircraft purchases, said Trebor Banstetter, a spokesman for the carrier. John Dern, a Boeing spokesman, didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.
