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

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

Forecasts are running the probability of JFK being inundated at 20%.
Other models are saying the same, but with more force. The pressure gradient in the storm is what drives the surge and the path of the storm over warm waters along the Coast will continue to drive the pressure delta and the moisture content.
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.
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.

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!
