Now the -9 is $$ and as long as oil stays around where it is now and our mgmt continues to hedge down here, then the -9 will continue to fly. I would think mgmt knows that if they disproportionatly F from from the N side then it would put a strain on the -9 training dept just as it would the 88 training dept if the opposite occurred. From what I've been seeing and hearing from fleet planning is that they want the right size a/c on the route, period. If a F is coming we collectively will get clipped. IMO of course.

The free beer/wine on int'l flights is new on DAL-S. The economy pax used to get 1 beer or wine with dinner, but had to pay for the rest. It just changed June 1st.

I want to take this opportunity to thank our DAL-N brothers and sisters for bringing a few other much needed upgrades to the domestic fleet....Twix bars, pretzel chips, and fruit. Thank you, thank you, thank you...There are "synergies" to be realized in this marriage. :D

Still not planning on furloughs as ACL has said, but expect another displacement in Aug/Sep. Not a good time to be a domestic 757 guy.
