As more Delta mainline flying is added to SEA, the code sharing with Alaska will be cut back, and hopefully in the next TA we will add SEA to our other 'Hub' cities.

Oh, and on the virtual base thing, you are right, the company wants it for several reasons; it would save them a bunch of money on hotels, crews deadheading, and manning. It would require fewer pilots, and save them money, just like everything else in the TA the company wanted.

I'm not for or against virtual basing, just trying to get a grasp of all sides of the issue.

Gents, if you live or have lived on the north side of Atlanta, I'm looking for pros/cons of the various towns there. I know the traffic is a major negative, so don't need you to mention it. Looking more for info on cost of housing, land, taxes, and which towns up that way you'd recommend.

I'm interested in info about Johns Creek, Milton, East Cobb, Roswell, and any others up there I should be considering.

Probably going to send the kids to Catholic school, so if you have recommendations in that category too, fire away.

Feel free to PM if you don't want to post here. Thanks all.
