Aren't we getting some MD90s this year?

Ahahahhahahahahahaa, oh man, quit it....bwahahahahahahah.
<gasp>
Oh man, Bill and Jess, thanks for the laugh bros. You nearly made me pee myself. All you had to do was say we were getting ATs 717s, and it would have been perfect.
Ahhhh....<wipes tear>
Nu
PS any rumor from an LCA comes with an automatic -10 on the reality meter. Now had you said FA, then it might have had some credibility.

Delta testified that Comair 'could' win new Delta flying if the judge threw out our contract. So the judge threw out our contract. And on the SAME DAY Comair emerged from BK, Delta awarded sixteen CRJ900s to Pinnacle - who wasn't even flying for Delta at the time.
It's clear what Richard Anderson's Delta intends to do with their "wholly-owneds" and I don't think you want that opportunity.
