I’m sure envoy can cover flying but what if AA says no, we want CPZ to continue providing us lift. That’s why a merger is absolutely loony to even be discussing. It wouldn’t be worth the legal and contractual trouble than to just say, no more delta flying, give us those planes.

Nope. When Delta became DIP during chpt 13 for endeavor they sawed off the United arm as a FOAD to United and our judge let them do it because in 2014 it made no sense to dump money into us there were still 12-14 regionals.

Republic was smart suckering Delta into DIP for their chpt13 because united and Murican came in as financial partners to republic judge and that meant republic could saw off the whole 50 seat delta market, which delta intended to stick them with post BK at a breakeven rate. Ever wonder why we started loading up on 50 seaters instead of getting 175s?

What? RE and TW knew we were getting 175s. Delta was shocked by the Republic deal, and instantly regretted the DIP. They tried to strongarm the republic judge and he told delta to pound sand. I guess you should get off that Facebook group and get headed to C tower.

The 50seaters brought down our customer service numbers and screwed up Delta's plans to get us all the gojet 700s for ny and looks like it's gonna continue. Oh well.

Because managing the autopilot is...pretty boring.

Speaking of boredom, you just reminded me of one guy, on the one leg of the trip where he left the AP off for a couple of minutes. A few minutes into the flight, he announced "this is boring" as he turned the it on. That comment left me completely baffled, because no matter how "boring" flying a low-key departure may be, how can not flying be less boring than that?

Completely agreed, that's the ultimate goal and source of satisfaction in flying isn't it? (Except for when lowering the flaps in the 200)
