Yea though I just had a Skywest E120 pilot on the jumpseat recently and asked him what was happening with them. He said that they were supposed to be slowly replaced with 50 seat jets but that had been halted and for now the E120 fleet was being kept as is..... My guess Delta likes them better than replacing them with even more 50 seat jets.

Great, so first it was the Avro's and now this. I don't wanna be too pesimistic but perhaps it's safe to say it was fun while it lasted.

Looks like the new reduction notice is out. Just DTW and MEM being reduced this time.

Yup looks like they axed MSP first to try to bump all the most senior people first so they didn't get the multiple cascading displacements going on by starting at the bottom and working their way up through the various displacements. Looks like 1 more round to go though.

I was wondering why they hit MSP so hard in the first round and not this time. Anybody have a guess what will happen in the third round?

Looks like the TLH-MCO TLH-TPA routes are going away on October 1st. Seems the subsides dried up. So, more good news there.

So far it's been hatchet by senior base... SO, next would be basically a few from Memphis and maybe some realigning to clean up the mess if anything else is done for this first wave. They obviously went out of the way to NOT end up with displaced jet captains (yes ultimatley one DTW CR9 got bumped) but there could have been much more if they displaced bases more how the flying was actually lost.... But that would have created a LOT more cost in training too. So the Saab guys will get lots of bridging and deadheading parings instead.
