Attended the "Left Seat" conference this week... basically a symposium for senior Captains. Highly recommend this for all senior Cappies.
First, a great experience and chance to have a 2-way exchange of information with senior management. I learned a lot more about our company, especially about the many departments other than flt ops.
Second, from the horses mouth... if the 9's stay, we hire next year... if not, 2014. Also, unfortunately for me, coinciding with the arrival of the 100 900's over the next 3 yrs, is the departure of btw 60 - 70 757's.

Plus after being beaten down since BK, I have decided to re-engage on all levels (company & union). Tired of the non-stop beyatch fest / negativity party.
Was refreshing to chat with individuals at all levels (trenches to front office) who are truly passionate about this biz.

small correction on 717 to crj 1000, its about 90 coach not 80. That's about 30 coach diff.
i also would be ****ed if Delta bought $40 mil dollar new planes for a regional while we get used stuff on sale but it wouldn't shock me.
from what I hear, the 717 will be three class config. like dc9 with 107 seats total

Yes to all three.

It was called "In Command", but sounds exactly the same, with flt. ops. and other dept.s coming to 'splain the big picture. I heard all the NW Capts. were getting it now too, is that what it was?

I can't stop watching this.
Why were they filming themselves anyway?
I think the "Throttles - Idle" memory item was just too late to really help.
I feel the worst for green bikini girl - loses her shades, gets a 60mph face douche, then gets impaled by the throttle quadrant.
