Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Just saw this Delta TV commercial. The part at the end talking about solutions coming from "Delta people." I know (hope?) they didn't mean it this way... but considering the amount of "solution" coming out of my paycheck, it just struck me the wrong way. Ironic anyway...

All 320 out of MEM to NYC as well as DC9 for MEM base closure
Some 320 out of DTW to NYC with 737 out of CVG to DTW
Remaining 88 out of CVG to MSP and NYC for CVG base closure

I'm hoping for a good 50 more slots on each seat in ATL 320!

Yeah, but with the crap trips in the ATL category, who would bid it?

.. However, A320 sims are the first to make the move south so there will already be less 320 sim time available. I'm guessing they'll hold off for now..

I heard as soon as the first sim is unbolted in MSP they are ready to rent A320 sim time in Miami. So the moving itself should not be a issue.

Buzz,

I guess the good news for the Alaska dudes is................Delta can't load 'em up and ship them to ATL and NYC. I guess all us western dudes/dudettes just need to realize we are an eastern airline:D

But, there still is a Delta Orient............Asia doesn't suck as bad as Europe, right now:cool:

This just reminds me, when Flight Safety moved the Embraer 120 simulator from HOU to LGB on a flatbed truck it became the victim of a hit and run at a truck stop or something.

Of course you could probably ship it by train... but then you don't want it to be shot like those 737 fuselage barrels are on their trip from ICT to SEA.

And just think of the fun the A320 Reserves will have, trying to cover all 3 airports! :eek:

Hello? Yellow Cab? I need a ride to Laguardia... no wait, now it's Newark...No, no, now it's JFK, and HURRY!
