Yep - agree - name me something that wasn't cheaper (other than ticket prices). Just making the point that 3+ engine airplanes have a good history here.


So...where are they today?

:eek:

Well, at least I won't be the only one getting fired for what I put on the survey. :) They asked!

Where? Where all good, reliable airplanes go after 30 years of dedicated, safe service - in my recycle bin in the form of a Miller Lite can. I don't know - I assume they did what they were designed to do...

Plenty of 1 and 2 engine airplanes eventually meet their demise as well. My point was, and I guess it wasn't made clear, that 3 & 4 engine planes have dutifully served well here at Delta.

Again, everything was cheaper back in the day. I should've been born in about 1940. Life was good.

Bags fly free...except when they don't
 
The "Bags Fly Free" motto at Southwest Airlines Co. applies to all its customers, except those who fly on Southwest’s wholly owned subsidiary AirTran Airways, which charges $20 to check one bag, Bloomberg Businessweek reports.

Dallas-based Southwest (NYSE: LUV) closed its AirTran Holdings purchase on May 2, 2011, and received its single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration on March 1, 2012.

As Southwest begins to integrate operations like combining airport check-in areas, AirTran’s bag fees will outlast those milestones, but when the fees will end is still undetermined.

“It’s definitely something that’s up toward the top of the list,” Southwest spokeswoman Whitney Eichinger said Tuesday about aligning the brands’ fees. “You can’t say it’s something that in the next year will be completed, but it’s something we want to do.”

AirTran announced in February that it would begin offering flights from Austin to Cancun in May.

Does anyone know what we get paid for the systems training we do on USB before reporting for training? Is this on top of guarantee for a reserve?

I believe the first screen on the delta survey said names are not removed in case you have some good ideas and they want to discuss further. Did you guys not see that?
