Delta doesn’t care about appearance..,just like killing positive space commute and sky club access shortly before we vote.

Killing PSC is a little bit of over exaggerating. The did choose to not continue it after the end of the LOA clause.

Let me tell you a little story about the 717 from 10 years ago…

My understanding is that this has to do with the drama between Qatar and Airbus. I guess Airbus was willing to sell Qatar’s unused A35K to Delta to prove a point and because they didn’t see progress happening quickly in the courts. There has actually been some movement on that front and I think Delta is still the plan B for those airplanes.

They are waiting for the new Monroe Airport to be built. Presently the walk from terminal to the gate is way to close. Once they add a mile of terminal for a longer walk , Monroe will be the launch destination of the new 350's.

That’s likely accurate. It says a lot that Airbus would rather go back to court and cooperate with the Qataris before selling Delta the airplanes for what was offered.

I was here for TA1…Richard A. and leinlodge told us the 717 was dead and the CRJ200s would be rebuilt if we voted the TA down.

We don’t make business decisions for Delta, management does.

Um, that was C2012, not TA1. Your point is taken, but wrong contract.
