We have money for this?
Delta offers flight from LaGuardia to Newark for NHL game
Delta Air Lines is offering New York Rangers fans a free flight. The catch is that it's a 17 minute flight from LaGuardia Marine Air Terminal Airport to Newark Liberty Airport.
The airline promotion was only open to people who had tickets to Game 3 of the NHL playoff series between the Rangers and the New Jersey Devils.
They were calling Saturday's promotion the "ultimate ride" to the game.
The first-come, first-serve promotion offered:
Complimentary seats on a special charter flight, departing at 10am
Rangers alumni on flight
Rangers gifts and prizes
Free ground transportation from Newark Airport to the Prudential Center, and return to LaGuardia after the game
The chance for a lucky seat to win a free road trip for two to a Rangers away game during the 12-13 season.
The deadline to sign up was noon on Thursday, May 17th.

What I want to know is, What's in it for us?
I mean, they've managed to leak the bad stuff...so...where's the GOOD stuff?
What caused them to Rush into this?
I find it hard to believe they are actually considering allowing MORE 76 RJ's, raising the ALV, more flying for reserves, and reducing profit sharing by 1/3, at a time when Richard and Ed have been yapping about $Billions of profits going forward.
Where's the leak about More Big Airplanes? And I don't mean 717's, I mean Wide Bodies, so narrow body drivers can move up into a pay raise.
Where's the leak about an early out program that will cover medical premiums?
Where's the leak about a $25,000 signing bonus, for everybody, on day one?
I find it hard to believe we would rush into a contract that contains only the 'leaked' numbers, so there must be a lot of "Good Stuff" we haven't heard about, yet...right?
100 more 777's?
Fully funded 401K?
Free medical plan?
OK, MEC, Leak all over me, I'm used to it!

This was common in past contracts. We did not wait until MEC ratification to see the major points on a TA. If they felt there are valid reasons to withhold TA details then a letter to all pilots should have been sent out with a explanation.
