Fences dont stop them from moving aircraft around to other bases so a fence would be pointless in stopping the disruption. After all that was one of the "synergies" with the merger.

I think JAL flys to Sao Paulo. I saw JAL 747-400s there last time I was there.

Wow, you can really tell that they have the Continental guy on their route structure with all the JFK to Europe flight on the 752. That's all CAL does from EWR.

BTW, DTW-ZRH in a 752? Not bloody likely, that's a haul.

If you do see fences you will see our crew resources/planners making 12+ day international trips so that they can benefit from all different bases where the airplanes will be flying out of. It will take care of all of the DH issues.
(FWIW that is what they told me)

If it was one 12 day trip that paid 80 hours and I was done for the month, sign me up.

IF it's the right size aircraft for the market, great. Rumor had it we (DAL) weren't making much on the JFK-BRU market with the 767, and when it changed to a 757, the revenue went thru the roof. Hauenstein is the best management guy to come to DAL in the entire time I have been on the property... I know that ain't sayin' much, since we have had some real winners, but CAL really lost a good one with this guy...

Slinky,

Just got home from one. Thirteen day (were 12 pre-bankruptcy) 757 Guam and Saipan beach extravaganza. Went over on the 31st and done for the month. A commuters dream......but wife hates them (stuff always happens when your gone ya know).

A "highly placed source" I'll bet... sheeesh Fun to contemplate I'll admit, but worthless as information.

DAL4EVER 08-12-2008 07:20 PM
That birdie told me about the 747 going from Brazil through ATL to NRT. Agreed, much information from birds is worthless but on this one example he seemed correct.
