But the gazillion dollar Madison Avenue hack Ad firm hired to come up with the Song details said it would have a competitive CASM. They even told DL management (for the right price, of course) that if you put more seats in an AC that lowers the CASM. They also (again, for the right price) told DL management that since JB has TV's at every seat, DL/Song can copy their product of they put planes with TV's at every seat on the same routes. Later the experiment was scrubbed, yet called a victory, and managers get bonuses going in and going out. Win-win!
My raw just dropped 4pts. What gives?

My friends RAW went down 10 points under the same scenario??
On a side note, I read the CVG synopsis and I thought I read that we will have a surplus of over 1300 pilots for Nov. I think we have covered this and I was wondering if my <9000 pilot predictions is going to happen?? I hope not.

Of couse if we do furlough, it will be the European's (or whatever's) fault and the TA will automatically be credited with preventing 1000 additional furloughs that never happened, just like massive DCI growth after 9-11 was credited with mitigating furloughs.
Denny,
As long as you don't mind working holidays and don't get displaced I don't think you'll regret your decision. Since you live in base and there is no such thing as a bad trip in Seattle on the 330 I think you're going to be very happy.
Aside from the downside of occasionally having to fly with Ferd.

Actually that will be a downside for Ferd! He's gonna have to be my seeing eye FO........I hope he's up to the job!
My anxiousness comes from never having been to an Airbus school on top of not going to a new aircraft school for a looooong time. I'm sure once I get into it, it will go fine. I've had a lot of guys offer their expertise in case I run into questions in training and that will definitely help!

You're right, the priceline guys always did better than me. I just became a creature of habit, I knew the drivers, the desk ladies, had a good time meeting half of Atlas, Evergreen, and Kalitta - they always had well catered parties for any event that was worth gathering for. Pretty nice restaurant choices nearby with a notably great Greek restaurant across the street, a lousy mall a short walk away. Van ride to the train if you wanted to go into the city. etc.
