Any truth to the rumor that refurbished pilots are being offered to the airlines at half price? Supposed to be just like new! :D

Does kinda make you wonder though, Why hasn't a company like UPS thought of this? They surely use a bit more fuel than Delta*.

Or

Why didn't Conoco Phillips start an airline?

But of course, this will work. Trust them.

Yea, no kidding. They could use the loss for tax purposes.

Actually Delta is the single largest non-government user of fuel in the world.
I welcome any effort to bring any production in-house, in particular flying!

"if we can make our own gas we ought to have Delta pilots burn it!"

Another section one goal. Delta pilots will burn the delta gas and no others unless they already burn delta gas or they are Alaska or RaH but only in those planes used by Delta passengers etc etc etc

Yep, only entity that uses more fuel that Delta is the Air Force.

No, they don't. Only the US Government uses more gas than Delta
