The way they have been doing things lately, I think it's obvious: Both aircraft will be based in Memphis.

Since the flight is on an E-175 Aeromexico Connexion, look like the Aeromexico Pilots need some better scope!

Orbitz has 4 non-stops a day, 3 on DAL 737's and one on the Aeromexico E-jet.
Not to be nitpicky, but it's a 190 (at least it was today... was a few behind them off the north side).

Speaking of scope failures, AM Connection is definitely one for them.. yikes!

I had to sniff through flight aware to figure out what the heck the callsign was that they were using- "Costera."

That's the question. Will we "grow" (all the back up to premerger mainline levels or *gasp* beyond!?!?!?) or will the neverending "respect mah capacitah" keep on keeping on to fund the endless growth mode of the ULCC's and dellusional foreign subsidy airlines?

We had one of our guys in the jumpseat a week before that AE came out telling us that DAL was looking to transition 20% of its flying from ATL to MEM so as to keep SWA out of MEM.

I think he may have been connecting the dots with a crooked line.


I wouldn't even pretend to guess where those 717s or 739 are going to be based.

Indeed.

I'd expect most or all of the 717s to be based in...ATL.

The 737-900 will probably do a lot of flying out of ATL, but as they add them, they can shift -800 flying pretty much anyplace, so I'd expect an overall increase in anyplace that currently has a 737 base. I'd expect to see shrinkage (!) in the SLC 7ER category and the NYC, DTW, and MSP 7ER category as the -900 takes some of the 757 flying as those airplanes are turned into FedEx box haulers.

Yeah, being in ATL you've ended up in the training center a lot. The 320 is what, the 4th?
