I am reading the "capacity neutral" as the number of seats is supposedly going to be the same, not the same number of aircraft, as some have eluded to here. Probably won't matter, as I think the statement was just to keep Wall Street happy.
My guess for Memphis is DC9 category obviously closes and the 320 base will remain replacing dc9 flying. Trips will be like they are now, they start the trip in Memphis and go fly throughout the system where needed only to return on the last day. Lots will filter through Atlanta and NYC, we'll see |

Great point. And for someone to state with certainty that an aircraft delivered in 2018 will be capacity neutral...well I want their crystal ball! We can't even accurately forecast demand or total production costs (jet fuel prices) 7 months out, much less 7 years out.
Until we see organic Delta growth via pilot hiring above attrition levels, all this excitement is just about shiny new jets. They are nice, but that's it. I sure as heck hope we will grow between now and 2018. Realistically though it's more likely the growth will come from another merger Cheers George |

It is time we start thinking about UPS/Continental type pay structures. The company is adding lower paying airplanes to replace the higher paying ones. (737s replacing 757s and 767s). tsquare has been saying this for a long time.
Cheers George For you T, it's spelled loose! :D |
Forecasts are running the probability of JFK being inundated at 20%.
SLOSH model predicts that a mid-strength Category 2 hurricane with 100-mph winds could drive a 15-20 foot storm surge to Manhattan, Queens, Kings, and up the Hudson River. JFK airport could be swamped, southern Manhattan would flood north to Canal Street, and a surge traveling westwards down Long Island Sound might breach the sea walls that protect La Guardia Airport. Many of the power plants that supply the city with electricity might be knocked out, or their docks to supply them with fuel destroyed. The more likely case of a Category 1 hurricane hitting at high tide would still be plenty dangerous, with waters reaching 8 - 12 feet above ground level in Lower Manhattan. Wonder if Goldman Sach's has a generator on the roof and a sat uplink so it can run up commodity prices while the first four floors of its building are under water. |

The tremor hit Atl around 1400 or so. I felt it at my house, but had I even been standing up I would not have felt it. It sounded like a wind gust hit the house with the shift caused by the initial hit and then an extremely faint wiggling for about 30 seconds.
Ok... Glad to hear they didn't go back to the crackpipe! We have a bachelor party tonight in Buckhead for one of our guys. I guess I'll have to buy the two that "survived" the earthquake a few rounds now! |

Ok. So a small amount of NYC flying may leave. However, MSP will likely lose more flying in addition to the 330 base that was already closed, & it's likely MEM will lose ALL of it's flying.
