So little to no hiring until 2015? If so, then the only way for that to happen is with even more "capacity discipline" aka "shrinking to profitability and providing 3 more years of LCC growth at our pilot group's expense now and our company's future earnings as the negative dividends start to pay out big time.

Want to fly 747's out of Atlanta?

The city estimates the service will generate $8 million to $12 million in annual economic impact for metro Atlanta and the Southeast, and will create six jobs. According to the city, all of the top 10 global cargo airlines except for Emirates operate at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Air France, a partner of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, already operates passenger flights into Atlanta.
2015 would work for an Emirates contract. Management should be considerate and give voluntary leave until they expect a need for pilots.

So it is coming on 8 weeks since I last flew. I hope I don't have to go to the sim, and I'm junior reserve.

For March, almost all of the MSP DC-9 trips start and end with deadheads... most of them to/from ATL. If they're really going to keep the -9's around for an extra year (end of 2013) and keep doing most of the flying hub and spoke out of ATL, it probably makes economic sense to move the base there.

DALLAS (TheStreet) -- Confronting widespread doubt about whether bankrupt AMR(AAMRQ.PK) can generate $1 billion in new revenue, Chief Commercial Officer Virasb Vahidi says it's easy: Fly more flights (with large regional jets), get more revenue.
They are pulling the same crap the other bankrupt airline execs did 10 years ago.
