Badged airline crews are not required to go through TSA screening. Look at CVG, LEX, CID, QNY, FFDO, etc. We usually go through screening since that is the only way to get to the aircraft.

CNN is reporting that a merger between NWA and DL would raise ticket prices due to ATC. I may be a little slow, but how the heck did they come up with that?!?

Less availabe seats mean higher prices, Delta/NWA said they were gonna park some A/C.

Yes, I get that much. But CNN is reporting that a merger will cause higher prices due to ATC. Air Traffic Control. Merger=ATC=high prices. I'm just not getting it.

I wouldn't put too much stock in what CNN ever says.

Delta has told us they will pay for the fuel to ferry aircrafts at night to prevent delays for crew rest at certain stations. So the spare aircraft at JFK will get some use at night with the 3 am ready reserves. they havent said if they want to yet or not. so its still up in the air.

cessna you got to slow down your almost to a 100 credit for the month

Won't matter...

They held a flight for an hour and a half to wait for me to DH to an outstation for a RR overnight...which then delayed the morning flight for 2 hours so I could get my rest. When reporting I was greeted in the lobby by a CA and FO...The FO was perfectly legal to operate the flight at the regularly scheduled time, but with the melt down apparently scheduling lost her, despite her talking to them 2 or 4 times throughout the day. Result 2 flights delayed a total of about 3 and a half hours.

I love Comair melt downs...

I got assigned a canceled flight to BNA around 130 on Friday (the day of the big storm in JFK). I noticed it on SBS and sat and waited for my notification. 637 rolls around, 7 minutes after my report was supposed to be...and i, of course, get a call from scheduling asking where I am (they never notified me). He told me to hurry into the airport, but then I asked him why SBS and delta.com says the flight is canceled. The 5 seconds of silence on the phone made me stop getting ready, and i sat back down on the couch. "oh, uh....yea that's canceled..nevermind, we'll call you if we need you."

Those poor schedulers.

Got to love that. Early in the day we were supposed to Dh to NYC. Well I noticed the DH flight had been canceled along with all the others, we called and told them that it shows canceled and they agreed. Well 3 hours later, they call us and tell us we are DH'ing to NYC on the same flight (it is still canceled) to over night, then taxi a plane then DH back to CVG. As the CA is on the phone with scheduling, I call Flight Control to see if this taxi leg is really going to happen (they are in the same room as the schedulers). Nope that taxi leg has been canceled. Well we sat around another two hours for them to figure out the plan that we finally executed to some what less than perfection.

I love these kind of days.
