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

Delta uses more gas than the USAF. Second only to the US government in its entirety.

Really? I though it was the USAF. I just remember reading it about a year ago. Could be wrong. I know that our consumption equals countries like Spain.

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

Hey, watch your mouth. I might resemble that remark.

It's the entirety of the US DoD that equals countries like spain and consumes more than Delta.

(but DoD is NOT including all those EPA/DOT/gubbamint employees driving around in those ford escapes)

United (post merger) consumes more than Delta though.

I don't think the DC-9 is spongeworthy.

I hope we use it to yield dump and stop the growth of the LCC's and their fantasy order books. They can not be allowed to grow forever.

No need to worry. ALPA said they will not assess us. They have insurance for this. Besides, they don't think they should have lost. That makes it better.
