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

I am not talking about AMR or Parker eating all of them.

Reality is that Parker will have one heck of a time operating DFW and PHX in their current structure. Parker may be smart enough to concede PHX, but if he is not, then part of DFW will probably be sold off. Competing with LUV on those two fronts alone would be difficult, especially with the Wright Amendment going totally away in a few years.

In other news apparently the word of at UCAL is a deal on their JPWA in the June time frame. It is the same time I figure we have to come to a deal for the company to go after assets of AMR's. Looks like UCAL may want MIA too.

UCAL had MIA when they bought the PAA routes in bankruptcy liquidation court. They already have PAA's route authorities out of MIA to most of SA and the Caribbean.

I'd answer because this appears to be sincere, but the last time I took someone seriously for what seemed sincere I was accused of being a 1%. A good way to get your rocks off if that's what you need to feel good about yourself (not you FATboy, unless that is you were trying set someone up with your post).

Ok, I'm going to bed now (embarrassed).

FATboy...didn't mean it that way, but yes, it's a great movie based off a novel by the same name. A definite Netflix DVD if you have the service.

Small problem...that's NOT a Delta plane, it's a connection carrier. The beat goes on.
