I am loving the talking heads being all puckered about DAL's alleged interest into the refinery. The energy psychologist's take that Delta is "stupid".. But here is an article that seems a little more balanced. It acknowledges the cutting edge concept while also acknowledging the risk.
I'm sure we're going to be told were stupid by the people who aren't going to make as much as normal from this move. If you're playing a zero sum game, the other guy doesn't want the game modified, I would think.

I know this is off topic, but can I p/u a trip off the swap board form another base. If I'm NYC 7er can I pick up a personal drop from ATL7er?
Thanks in advance,

Off the swap board, no, but you can request an 'out of base white slip' if the same trip is in your 'open time' ie. the open time that crew scheduling assigns daily, but you are at the Bottom of the pecking order for that trip. Everyone in base gets a shot at it before an out of base white slip.

But an airline needs jet fuel to operate. An airline does not need hotels and car rental companies. So while there is some validity in your comparison there are some distinct differences also.

I just finished listening to Jon Ruggles' podcast interview from August. If you listen to that, listen to what he says right at the 7 minute mark. It is very interesting. Most of his interview is quite esoteric in nature, but you can definitely tell he knows what he is talking about, especially as it relates to the airline. Towards the end he even talks about how the fleet works. I am glad he is our guy.
