757 line was shut down. Boeing is still delivering 767s. Remember all the Air Force Tanker talk? It's a 767-200.

So what's the thinking that Ma Delta will just plug and play the 717s where the 9's are now? That's much better to get sent as a junior guy to the 717 with all glass than to the Tune, Identify, Monitor world of the 9.

Re: LGA expansion dupe

One of the guys on the DALPA forum suggested taking out a full page ad in the NYT calling the company out on their huge "expansion" in LGA and advising the public that Delta really isn't flying all of that new service, it's an outsourced RJ. I think it is an excellent idea, and time to show the company that this DCI cr@p won't be tolerated anymore.

Sounds like a great idea!

It is the effect on the other hubs that we will need to take note of.
