If you are in to strategic bidding it makes sense. AE this and then MD in to a seat you have not been able get in to because there have not been any openings.

My guess is we will see another jet on DAL property before the 9 goes totally away though.

Very well could be. There may be a case for the 9 beyond 2013 by the looks of this AE.

MSP is on pace to look like CVG. Hope we don't pull back too much. Several communities which NWA owned are heavily courting UAL these days.

Someone call the Atlanta TRACON and tell them DC9's don't have RNAV or VNAV.

Oh it's still a show but now it is more of a tragic comedy.
