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...

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?

I kinda like it. It'll appeal to the unwashed masses....

Hopefully, some of the guys flying the even crappier trips in LA.

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

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

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!

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