If training events and costs have been calculated off the first run then I'm sure there are some with this look on the 4th floor:

What is a good web site for looking up available flights between city pairs?

Absolutely false statement! DAL went from a fleet of over 600 to one of less than 450 during this timeframe, including both widebodies and narrowbodies. I was a mid pack ER FO and stayed about the same place after all the guys left, big gain---NOT!!

[QUOTE=Bill Lumberg;1 Now we make a lot more than that per year (paid off $2 billion in debt last year, also made $952 million in bag fees) and we are being told by upper midwest LEC guys not to expect SWA type wages. (one of them was voted out of office, HA HA) This has to change.


As far as Dalpa goes or the DPA, I just want to get what WE DESERVE. Dalpa has the first shot at it. If they do well, I bet the DPA drive will stop in it's tracks until the next foul up, like age 70 retirements. If Dalpa doesn't do well and produces us a lame TA with lame excuses, then I bet the DPA will soar, and Dalpa could get voted out and even if it takes longer, the threat of another merger will push management to deal, and the DPA will get it for us. The rumor out there is that someone way high up said we need about 33% of the domestic industry to be incharge of the fares and somewhat "bullet proof". Right now we are at 28%. That means possible merger approaching. That is leverage. If Dalpa does well, then great. If not, they are GONE.[/QUOTE]

Bill, when did you hear the upper midwest LEC chairman say we could not expect SWA wages?

Agreed. Absolutely astounding.
