Could be anyone. MSP is on Emirates short list along with ATL and MIA. They of course would not be doing domestic flying, yet.......:eek:

It means that we may have a need for those pilots in the near to mid term.

Might get rid of a lot of those FA's that commute......

That's been going on for 70 years.

Jimmy Doolittle went to China and skipped Colonel. Went from LTC right to Brigadier General.

I know many here are watching all the hiring overseas. I've already told the wife, depending on this next contract, we may be moving in the next few years. I never would have thought I would consider leaving my country for a job elsewhere after being hired at Delta. The US aviation industry is going to be in a world of hurt soon if management, ATA and our government don't get a clue.

He is the only "former" Marine I ever met.

And tsquare delivers a devastating kick to the jimmies! :D

No, it means we need the pilots now...

Cheaper easier to hire a new guy to fill a seat in a small jet later this year, than to displace off the big ones and have displacements ripple through the system.

This is a "hedge" to have bodies in the right place without cranking up the hiring machine, but there will be a price paid for that type of insurance...

Yeah, true, but chicks USED to dig us.

How true...I was something back in 89:cool: ...flyin' vipers, hanging out at Tommy Condon's, drinking kamikazes, I thought I owned the world.

Can someone clarify for me...I know there is a limit on the 70+ strs at dci, but 50 strs are unlimited?? As dal puts a 1st class in some 70 strs, does that drop them into the unlimited category, circumventing the intent of the scope language to cap larger rjs??
