Apparently, we are over on pilots, flight attendants, mechanics etc.. They are worried about the unions if they furlough. The decision will be made at the end of summer. Lets keep our fingers crossed!!

Time to open a new base. DFW sound good to anyone?

How about MIA or FLL? I think LAX is too small, needs to grow in a big way.

If we add a new subfleet, say 30 some E175s, then we would have to staff those.

I'm all for FLL or MIA. Hell, even DFW would be awesome again.

The funny thing about the 30 E175's, wouldn't that pretty much take care of our overage? Wouldn't that put more (much needed) narrow body lift here at DAL? Wouldn't that just open the door for the E190/95's? :D

I like that idea. We should definitely run with it!;) Oh wait...?

Its funny how its such a win-win for everyone but yet it is held up by those whose seniority is such that they would never have to fly those jets anyways but they still don't want them here.

Also, more school house rumors to start from DGS guy.

1.) DAL will park a few 744's. Demand not there = less capacity
2.) DAL to sell a few 767-300's(DOM).
3.) Why do the dentures cost so much??

Wow, good question New. I don't know if we have a maximum early check in. I've seen guys do it several hours prior. I don't commute though. Most of my CA's do and they get in 3-4 hours early on average. Some earlier if they're coming a long way. Maybe ACL knows...he's our sensei.
