Also, run a massive displacement bid well before other airlines and certainly before you offer a VEOP... that will certainly help getting people in the right seats.
Can't remember the exact story, but someone attributed a leap year, being partly responsible for one of our meltdowns a few years back. Someone also mentioned the mid afternoon storms in Atlanta coming early, as being another reason for a strategic level meltdown. Nevermind running rotations so tight that there is absolutely zero room to flex with delays.

In Delta’s never ending quest to blame operational failures on everything but management, a communication after a meltdown said that it was a leap year making the February bid period one day longer and that caused it all to fall apart. It’s similar to when they said a summer disaster was because there were thunderstorms.

they also said SLC-ICN was not for many years. Can it even do that route year round? Can it take off full to Europe in 105 degrees with SLC terrain and elevation?
then you have to consider the fact of how many crews flow through AMS/LHR/CDG on 350? Some days and routes would be zero. No scheduling flexibility at all.
right now none of these bullets make sense for 350 in Slc besides maybe ICN. Which again they said wouldn’t happen until after Asiana merger and probably not end of decade timeframe (that NYC would get ICN route first)

SLC < SEA for Asia. SEA is also the midpoint between Asia and Europe. SLC is a secondary market. Y'all are dreaming if you think there will be a Panda base there. JFK has a better chance of being the next 350 base.

the 330 is growing just as much as the 350 is? What 330 performance issues go on during the summer, outside the rare AD last summer that caused issues?

… although I never imagined we would use the 350 on ATL-DUB, LIM so never say never!

A note from A&J: we’re ready for summer. RUFKM No excuses this time ‘cause we already cut the schedule and hired a lot. 
The oops, hot, leap year is coming apology letter is in the can awaiting 9/15 release. Been away for a bit and coming back has been interesting. Not a single flight on time and reroutapalooza. 
This is gonna hurt… a little.
