In good scope news- there is more upgauging to mainline going on. I just found FAY overnights in the 320 April bid pack. I didn't even know where that was! (Fayetteville, NC)
Add this to all the TUL, OKC, OMA, ROC and others being upgauged and that is a good trend vector.

But just stop with the propaganda for once.. please.... Your badmouthing DAL at every opportuniuty is just getting old. We get it.. DAL sucks.. NWA was a far better airline... quack quack quack. I don't agree with your premise that DAL will be a training ground. I think you are wrong. Time will tell. Have a wonderful Delta Day.. I am out of this ridiculous argument.
We will know it is hurting when the bean counters start some sort of training bond for our new hires. That time isn't here, yet. But, I could see it happening in the foreseeable future.
Simply put, we are no longer first choice for a lot of people. It has everything to do with compensation rather than advancement.

Anybody got experience in both that can list some strengths and weaknesses?
Thanks.

Smart move. Delta will increasingly be used as a training ground while awaiting SWA, FDX, UPS and the high paying foreign airlines. Get used to it. Management couldn't care less.

That should be a fun bid as well.
I'm seriously thinking about ATL DC9 just to bite the bullet and take the free move down to the promised land.

That's not a bad plan of action for a lot of guys. Take the move, get it paid for. In a year or two, before you have completed your lock in, there will be a MD due to the category closing. At that point, you can go anywhere you want that your seniority can hold.

The 200 + computers on the 320 are all windows based and use vista. They don't get hung up often.
