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

I know we don't have a TA, but why do we need to bail out a bad idea by allowing larger bad ideas?

I mean if a fleet of over 360 outsourced CRJ-200s on long term contracts to near bankrupt regionals is all of a sudden a bad idea, why is replacing the CRJ-200s with outsourced CRJ-900s to the same airlines a better idea?

How long til those become a bad idea and we have to move the scope line to compensate for all of these bad ides? Sure we could say "oh but that won't happen!!"

Okay, but when the first "bad idea" showed up in the early 1990s I doubt this was on anyone's radar as a swap solution to the unprofitable "bad idea":

It is interesting when you can counter a doom and gloom you better sign this mysterious TA or else because bad times are ahead with: "you know Wall Street just doesn't like your capacity cuts. We need to grow. Why aren't we growing?"

Maybe they don't realize the new found power they have to affect the industry?

effect the industry.

Delta CEO Sells Stock

Did he ride the Pinnacle stock into the ground or did he get out of that too?

Anyone think we'll see this TA by the weekend (tonight)

Either way we should definitely see it by Monday/Tuesday of next week right?
