I'm pretty sure the 5$ charge is for previous year W-2's. 2011 W-2's aren't available yet. Click on the delivery options tab and fill in your contact info if you didn't do it last year or if you have changes from last year. You'll get it in your e-mail whenever they are ready, if that's how you set it up.

The west coast is a mature market, yet DL abandons it and gives it to a (supposedly) non revenue sharing competitor. While this could be rationalized in some of the smaller markets, LA-SEA, SF-SEA and BOS-SEA should be flown by Delta equipment at least half of the time. SEA-ATL should be removed from the code share entirely as there is no reason for it.
The order books for VX, B6 and NK are far too large to discount and we can't just roll over and give it to them. Soon they all will start poaching marketshare out of DL (as opposed to AA) markets. Then what? More capacity dicipline while we shrink and they grow? That increases our costs and decreases theirs, causing us to remove more capacity and them to add more. It has to stop. We need to figure out how to win and stop the growth of competitors or they will stop our growth. Its that simple.

DL has grown widebody flying and yet has lost 100K pax. The only way to make that happen is to have a significant narrowbody loss. Obviously, those pax were given away to another airline. One that not only does a massive portion of DL's narrowbody flying out of LA but the entire west coast. DL is outsourcing an entire coast to another airline and that is unacceptable. Gains in widebody flying do not justify this. If they did, we could just give most of the east coast to JB and grow our widebody flying. Outsource the midwest to SWA and grow widebody flying.
By that logic, we could/should give away all scope smaller than an ER if management will agree to grow our widebody flying, right? Would you seriously go for that?
When are we going to stop falling for this "outsourcing small planes gets us more big plane jobs" nonsense? We need significantly superior scope at all levels and significantly less outsourcing.

I kind of liked that. If airlines in this country one day started to strictly enforce the carry on size limits it would be a meltdown that would rival the worst weather systems we've ever had. The people know good and well they are breaking the rules so bad to the point they feel entitled to get away with it. Construction happens everywhere. A little well placed, truthful humor is a lot better than those stupid "pardon our dust" signs.

Glad this guy got his job back with damages. A good precedent for the profession. He's like that guy in Office Space.....getting fired by Airtran was the best thing that every happened to him

Slow,
I have in the past read what you have wrote here and respected your opinion, but now not so much because of the way you have attacked Buzz. Seems to me you attacked him first and were WAY out of line in the way you did it.
