All good info, thanks.
As far as the higher fuel burn goes, Delta has shown a propensity to spend money to keep the operation as reliable as possible so I’m not surprised about that.

My question for this group is this new rule been put to your pilots and what are your union reps able to do about it?
It was reported that your MEC told your management "NO" to what is basically a pay cut? This being said I'm presuming your time begins at parking brake drop?
Just looking for some info to pass along to the SkyWest pilot group.
Again this is not a jab at anybody or any pilot group.
Thanks for any info!

That’s more like it, I’m seening more and more M 0.80 on the legs page of the realease.
It used to be that inbound to NYC M.80 was the standard, but nowadays M.80 is normal going in or out of NYC.
