Maybe it's because some of us still hold a glimmer of hope that a disasterous opener can be avoided.

I'm all for being positive. But threats have to be identified and dealt with. I think this thread can accommodate both.

 

The MEC meeting ended yesterday. Linda from the NMB was there and her talk was in open session. I believe the Ft/DT talk was open too. CEO brief was in closed session.

 

I've used it for my folks. It's a decent reduction off their online advertised prices. You will see the fare quote before you finalize the ticket purchase (just like a buddy pass).

 

I understand this thought, but that's not remotely close to what you said.

 

Out on MIL leave for awhile and I thought our parents were given 6 free transoceanic flights. I looked and it showed none, is this because I am on MIL leave or has it always been like that? Thanks for the help, trying to get parents over to Germany to see us.

 

That's what that is? I thought it might be a sybian controller (for you Howard Stern fans)

 

US Airways in the cross hairs as well??

Delta Studying US Airways as Possible Acquisition Target — sources.


By David Benoit WSJ

Delta Air Lines is now looking at making a run at US Airways Group, WSJ colleagues Gina Chon, Anupreeta Das and Susan Carey are reporting.

Delta, the world’s No. 2 airline by traffic, also has been assessing a similar move for much-larger American Airlines parent AMR Corp., the people have said. It is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. as one of its financial advisers, along with Blackstone Group, the people said.

Delta sees itself as a consolidator in the airline industry and is studying several options, the people added.

Delta has not yet approached US Airways, the No. 5 U.S. airline, and is still weighing which deal if any would make most sense and have the best odds of success, the people familiar with the matter said. Delta’s last transaction was in 2008, when it acquired Northwest Airlines.

More details still to come.

 

I saw the same thing a while back and wondered about that myself. It's not because you're on MIL leave. When did we loose those passes?

 

Good, looked like the next "continue" button booked it, like a standard nonrev reservation.

Thanks, I'm off to try it! 20% off the Q fare from LAX wasn't that much cheaper than a direct flight out of PHX on Hawaiian (non refundable).

Thanks again,

Ferd
