So we would trade permanent... let that sink in for a minute.. permanent gate spaces for a bunch of airplanes that we really don't want. Seriously? I think it would be smarter to keep them hamstringed into several gates at different locations rather than to consolidate THEIR operations. But what do I know...

Vacancies:


ATL330A- 6
ATL330B- 5

DTW330A- 12
DTW330B- 5

SEA330A- 12
SEA330B- 5


Surpluses-

ATL777A- 15
ATL777B-15



Should cause some good cascading in the right direction overall. Not sure how the 777 surplus will hit ATL though.

Ummmmmm........ Ya'll still like the biggest paying the most pay rate kind of thing? How many haircuits are gonna happen this time.. More than you think......

Oohhhh, I know, I know! Yikes. That's depressing. That's the best they could do for a picture of a bunch of jets in the conga line?

As a Gator, I rarely agree with anything TSquare says. He's right. Make life difficult for our "enemy," especially at our biggest hub.

Very correct T.

On you next post about the a/e I also agree with that post.

It is frustrating to be at a stagnant carrier that just continues to reallocate assets...FTB was also spot on IMO ref the trip parking's contribution to the 777 shrinkage.

I'll believe we are getting aircraft when they are on the ramp in DAL paint,until then, I enjoy speculating as much as the next person.

That would be really nice. Out of curiosity, how much service did NWA have in those two HNL routes? Are there other Asia routes that were discontinued?

I was hired by DAL in 1969 so I am aware of a lot of Delta history, Northwest not so much, but I'd like to learn more.

You know I can't help but notice that the reallocation of assets is moving us into lower paying airframes slowly but surely. First 100 737's to replace 757's and possibly even a few larger a/c and now 777's seats moving to 330's. :(

However it is more seats so there is a silver lining.
