As far as mainline upgrades, OMA and TUL are getting some fifi action from ATL in January. I'm ok with that trend!
I hope we have a decent place to stay for 30 hours, because that's what they are.

At least you know what team he plays for:
From his bio.....
Prior to accepting his research position at MIT, Swelbar spent 25 years in the consulting world with a focus on airline labor cost restructuring, regulatory issues governing air transport, communication strategy and support, and air service development on behalf of airports and communities.
Hey,
Slow and Alfa, if your gig at DALPA evaporates, maybe he can fit you guys in over at his head shed.

Then the CBA went on to say that if other airlines were added to the JV that it would be in compliance it NW maintained it's 50% annual KLM ratio, not the ratio of the new JV partners. We were only going to maintain our ratio with KLM not the new group.
Fast forward to the JPWACBA where it became a 50/50 with KLM and AF not just against our previous KLM numbers like our CBA language. We get half of the combined KLM and AF numbers, then they added a third airline to their side of the JV and we still retained 50 percent or all the flying while the three of them are dividing up their side of flying into thirds now.

NW 50% KLM
new DL 50% KLM and AF
mou DL 50% KLM and AF and Alitalia
DL 50% | AF/KLM/AZ 50%
new DL 50% KLM and AF
mou DL 50% KLM and AF and Alitalia
DL 50% | AF/KLM/AZ 50%
Is our half of four airlines total Atlantic flying bigger than their half they are dividing by three?

Back in my RJ days OMA was one of my favorite layovers. Downtown has cool places to eat and drink a couple brews (not as many as our FAA Chief!!).
