Once a cash machine, due to many reasons, Acela probably the least, no MARKETING, IMO the primary, we have lost a jewel, and 40% fewer seats to commute.
REMEMBER: NONE of this would be a problem with proper domestic scope. Then it wouldn't matter what airframe the company chose for the route..... It would merely be a different AE bid option. |

Since Shuttle OPS/Disp. got moved to ATL, they cut rolling flight numbers, use of spare slots and standby crews and airplanes is what hurts the reliability and then drives businessmen to the train.

This would not be the picture you're thinking of but it's the same idea:
More recently at NRT: BTW, speaking of 747s, in my quest to find that picture I found this one: http://www.skypark.org/images/747Rand2.jpg

Anderson said it himself... he would prefer to have experienced Delta captains (pilots) up front. I say we hold him to that.

And we will remind them of that when they want ULH staffing to go to 3 FO's and 1 Capt.
As it stands right now, 50% of all DL departures are not flown by DL pilots. Anderson himself agrees that DL pilots should be up front, apparently. :) |
