not to mention its slightly faster than the B1, especially down low, if Newk is at the helm.

I hope elvis can keep up.

Why would your bank account suffer? I thought Chuck Norris gave you his lunch money every day so you wouldn't kick his A$S......:D:eek:

That should be more than enough to buy the new guys a few rounds.....

Chuck has been avoiding me for years and I refuse to chase him. The next time I see him though, there will be a scuffle. Because, the dent comes from the lunches and/or the dinners. :D

Definition of "scuffle"-scuf·fle - n. when Chuck Norris gets backhanded so hard that it knocks the beard off his face.

I have heard the AS rumor heating up again as well. It seems to be hot and heavy in the training centers. I had one INS tell me that is why they stopped hiring so quickly. Rumor of course.

I called a few buds at AS and it is the typical when not if when it comes to DAL.

On a side note HI has gotten very attractive to a lot of airlines not that it has one of the four HND slots.

Would the government allow us to get that big through an M&A?

FtB;
Depends. If AMR goes after AS I assume we would have a compelling case for the government. See AS does the Lion's share of our feed to our Asian gateway flights in SEA, and PDX, and they do a bunch in LAX. Without them those routes would have issues. To me that is the biggest reason DAL has.

HI is a small operation and there is little they could do about that one, but try to take the HND slot. I am sure that the lawsuit over the LGA slots will determine the outcome of DAL going after HI. (Just my guess)

I also read on the forums somewhere that ALaska is shifting a bunch of flying OUT of LAX to PDX and ANC.

TYG that is correct. It seems they are going to grow PDX and shrink ANC and LAX

My CA on newhire OE would not let me buy a single thing. Not even coffee. I felt like a free loader, but at $30.08 an hour I wasn't complaining. :o

BTW, newhires will he going to the 320 in MSP/DTW. Both fell 50+ FOs short of the 22.D.3 on the Dec 2010 projected category list.
