Boeing is the lessor. I believe 86 of the 88 are.

Anyways, here is the thing. 20 717s "disappeared" from the sale or lease section of Boeing.com right as the rumor hit legit news sources that we were ordering 100 739s.

Who Took The 717's Boeing Was Offering? — Civil Aviation Forum | Airliners.net

Thus bolstering, not starting but bolstering rumors (from a year before when SWA announced FL merger), of 717s to DAL. If rumor is true it could be as much of 106 717s. Further bolstering the rumor is SWA's "we don't want 717s anymore but we'll keep them if we can't get rid of them" headlines - which sounds like negotiating in public a bit.

I have to second that sentiment. Mid trip I get a phone call about my 10 y/o in the hospital and my wife is doing what she can to hold down the fort until I can get home. My Captain overheard my conversation and new I needed to leave. He called the duty pilot and a deadheading pilot took my last leg to PHL and then next flight home already had me booked in the JS (flt was full) I had no less than 4 to 5 phone calls from DL asking if there was anything I needed and if any family members needed to be with us just ask and they would set it up. Upon arrival I had three more messages from my CP, LAX FOM and the duty pilot making sure all was good. I too was taken by surprise at the level of compassion and understanding by everyone involved. ALl worked out fine and it was made easier by a family of people who stepped in when my family and I needed it most.

Now when I hear people talk about how the company can careless, I try to share my story but it is not appropriate in all cases. The anonymous machine in ATL my seem lacking at times but the people on the other end are good and do care and if they needed my help I would do whatever I could to help.

 

No....that's the AMR pilot lounge

At least the Cardinals won..

Bad mojo talking about the 717s. The AT guys are set up for a huge disappointment. The few guys that aren't totally devistated by this SLI are absolutely depending on the 717s sticking around.

Nu

 

Hmmm what if AK buys AMR? Now wouldn't that turn things upside down in the industry a bit! Curious to see what a merger directed from the AK side would do as far as DL stand on things?

What a game. Albert's performance was amazing. I'm shocked they kept pitching to him. 5 hits, 3 HR's, 6 RBI's and 14 bases. I'm sure you know the stats, but I just had to post them. No ONE in the history of baseball has done all of that in a World Series game before.

 

Where's the bad mojo? I don't get it.. Carl Icahn is gonna do what Carl Icahn does... there's no mojo.. only karma.
