Default Any more info on Delta reductions?

Wasn't there a shareholder meeting today that was supposed to shed some light on the reductions announced a couple weeks ago?

The Investors Meeting was held (and aired) today. No discussion that I'm aware of, and I listened to much of it, about the reductions in capacity.

Av8r,

I'm not telling you what to write, but 2 weeks before Christmas starting a thread with the title "Delta reductions?"

I guess I'm tired of reading threads like this and they end up starting with "I heard from my next door neighbors wife's cousin that xyz is laying off." It's really not cool and just puts our fellow pilots on edge for no reason. Sorry just my opinion.

His profile says CRJ FO. Perhaps he is trying to get clarification as to whether they will be regional or mainline. But I agree, the thread title could be worded better.

I listened to it and no further reductions were announced. Most of the webcast was positive news fwiw.

Sorry, but Delta announced 2 weeks ago that they would be reducing the schedule. We are just waiting to hear all the details and most expected it to be on the webcast.

Christmas or no Christmas people should remember not to get stirred up about something specific until it actually happens. As for a reduction in seat capacity, if Delta puts a 757 on a flight from NYC to BRU instead of a 767, that can be seen as a reduction in capacity with no change in how many pilots are flying. The big picture is sometimes deceiving. As for Christmas, I am making sure I get my son the G.I.Joe with the Kung Fu grip.
