Yep, it's nice to see the larger equipment moving back in for a change. Unfortunately, CAL management has decided to SHRINK its mainline presence SUBSTANTIALLY, and move more RJ's/Q-400's into EWR. Word is out that the business traffic we've had over the years to DCA, ATL, and BOS is RUNNING to our competitors. No one can figure out what marketing/management is doing since our load factors have been averaging 89% for the past two and a half months. Even our Daily News Update said our flights are fuller than ever, and we're cutting mainline flying? I wonder if our fuel hedger is in charge now............ Incredible..................

Umm, they weren't really talking about CAL, but ok.
Is airways REALLY growing mainline capacity or are they just shifting things around? Weren't they just planning on cutting domestic mainline capacity a few months ago?

The two international routes we're getting from this deal will be mainline flown. San Paulo and Narita are pretty good routes. Brazil is a growing economy and Narita slots are hard to come by, so this to me was a good move.

Re-read my post. I was just saying how we're LOSING mainline flying at CAL to the RJ's/Q400's while the other legacies are GROWING in the SAME marketplace. That was my point.

I also wonder if anything can be read from the fact that DAL is keeping some gates at the old terminal while still taking over the entire US Airways terminal. I've never been in the Airways LGA terminal. Maybe an indication that DAL plans to use LGA for more mainline flights than what Airways was?
