That Widgetheads.net site has gotten better over the past few months. Really good info on which aircraft are in storage and which are coming out. Not sure where this guy gets the time to be as thorough as he is. Much more motivated than I could ever wish to be.

Seems like a nice kid, but in the interest of fairness, he ought to have some links to some of Delta's predessessor airline history sites, like for NE, Southern, North Central, the REAL Republic, Western, et al....

Well the thought of the day is that they will take a more measured approach to integration.What the ....? I though that the whole reason to rush this was to get us merged and all happy. That is what is to make us the money. Now they are going to "sharp shoot" the base realignment.

What this means to me, is they do not want to be nailed down to a huge training footprint when the cards start to fall. They will deal with a little inefficiency for the next six to 12 months and wait to see if there are better way to deploy aircraft as routes and cities become more avail. (Airlines going out of business)

Subject to change of course, but they see one or two players going TU this winter. The fact that they are changing the plans of this merger should make all realize how serious they are about this prediction.

Skyteam airlines?

New F/A hiring?

where are the 777's going to fly?

will 777's be moved from jfk to dtw?

what markets are giving the best yields?

is nairobi back on in the fall?

if I decide to commute to DTW, where are the cheap, but safe areas to buy a commuter pad?

I'm lighting a candle and singing kumbaya.

If and it is a BIG if the USAIR terminal deals at LGA does happen who gets the old Delta terminal?

Who ever stated that this was a possibility????

BTW there is nothing wrong with having two or three terminals at an airport.

NYC CP Office... Or at least that's what the CA told me he heard while commuting to work, and he was told that by a CA that heard it from a LCA, that heard it from Bastian (or at least his wife's babysitter's mother's sister in law) so who knows!

This will never happen... UAL is a Chicago based company... Obama's backyard. I see money from the feds if the banks will not lend it.
