Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I'd think so. I just did a 2 leg 3 day(that was only a 3 day because of a 0100 release) & it increased my RAW by 31 points. FWIW. I think it's safe to unplug the razor. :D

Ferd,

I'm guessing 14 days of vacation will be worth at least 140 points.

Only if your vacation is at the beginning of the month.
You don't get the raw until AFTER your vac.

What? Maybe 80. 42 hrs of credit in the LCW.

One week is generally worth about 36-40 on the RAW.

Well that's a good point. If your reserve days are all stacked before vacation the RAW increase won't do you much good.

It would be interesting to know what it costs Boeing to build a 737NG. I'd venture a guess that profit margins are slim, but then again, Boeing is approaching automotive levels of production refinement on this product.

Maybe Boeing is using some of their double subsidized foreign bubble airline fantasy money and "EGO" widebody sales (etc) to subsidize the destruction of another foreign airplane maker (Canadair)?

I would venture to guess that as well, but the point still stands. Even if you get the jet for a steal, you need to not dilute the market with more seats and thus reducing your overall RASM.

So cap the seats and only sell the excess in the higher buckets during ultra peak times. Bonus: happy revenue generators when they non rev and a smoother operation for the many thousands of employees that don't "commute by choice".

But seriously, just cap the lower buckets if the flight is a money maker and don't trash yields just to fill up the plane for the same total revenue as a half full plane.

If for some reason I won, I would probably just go start a band and more ranch land, and not care if I made it big. Fun to dream, but there will probably be 20 winner, and none of us will even get five numbers. :D

Excuse me. I own you. Or will. You shall now your head when typing a post in my general direction. Was your head down? did you say Oh Captain My Captain?

I'll buy this airline by its own assets or something. I will give you a gift, I will say RJs.

Now that I own this airline you may wonder, does FTB want to be a master that is loved or feared?

Both.

I want you to fear how much you love me.
