Or unless Delta buys someone who has an agreement with someone to fly Q 400s. Like Horizon. (who by the way, just got rid of all their CRJ700s last year).

FYI only. Delta has over 120 aircraft on order and another 30 on option that are scheduled to come on line over the next 6 years (737-900 and MD-90). DCI has 1. Delta is about 60 aircraft smaller than at the merger. DCI is over 100 aircraft smaller.
1) How many of those DAL aircraft on order are slated to replace airframes currently on the property? 2) DCI is 100 aircraft smaller....what was the change of gauge of the DCI makeup? How many of the smaller 50 seat RJs, which do not directly replace mainline flying, left the DCI property, in exchange for 70-76 seat airframes arriving, which DO replace mainline flying? It's great if 200 50 seaters left the DCI property. Whats not so great is when they are replaced by 100 76 seat aircraft that parks 100 aircraft at the mainline. Nu |

Agreed and thanks, though to be an apples to apples comparison we would have to go back to 2000 when the change beagn. To get the post merger "big picture" would we need to include Air France / KLM, Mexicana (since the investment), GOL and Alaska in the mix?
What is your thought on "Outsourcing is an abrogation of seniority" ? I am aware of Delta's orders and thankful for them. Would be nice if we had 787's to replace the 757's instead of 737's and MD90's. Anyone know how NWA had intended to deploy the 787-8? Just curious. http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/temp6-12.jpg sure the 739s will be coming in soon but they'll be replacing airplanes already charted here. |
When are we just going to order these things...

Those C Series are nice looking airplanes. I'm a little concerned that some of our brethren will not be interested in flying them because it doesn't say Boeing or Airbus on it though. After the Compass give away I don't know what some of those more senior guys want :eek:

ALPA guy with mustache: (hanging out) White haired pilot guy: Hey [ALPA buddy with just-for-men mustache], what are you doing here?!? ALPA guy with mustache: Hey [white haired pilot guy], I'm just here to answer questions or listen to concerns anyone might have, is there something you want us to do? White haired pilot guy: Yeah, get rid of the Airbuses. So, I guess the order is this for some: 1. Boeing - the only way 2. Lockheed - we'll take those too 3. McDonnell Douglas - only if we have too 4. Airbus - no way in hell 5. Bombardier - ROFLMAO, don't ever say that again 6. Embraer - who? |

Delta has brought this upon themselves, & I don't give a rats rear end if a guy doesn't like things being tailored to commuters.
Frankly, I am a little tired of the entitled attitude seen above. The world does not revolve around you just because you are commuting. And it shouldn't. |
