As long as you will add to Delta's bottom line,"Welcome aboard, and here's some flying to get you started."

So using that definition, I guess "we" are growing, somewhere. The AE's sure don't show it, though. At least at Delta mainline, where I work.

(Well, actually, I thought I worked at mainline, until RA told the investors that 76 seaters are mainline jets. Are those coming out on the next AE? And if not, how is that not intentional misleading during a briefing regulated by the SEC?)
Nicely stated... Some of our own are not the brightest but definitely manageable. It's parts of out contract that make this latest TA a complete POS.

The combo of LA/SA is a bit big though.

How about just Brasil?

And yes, it took some effort, but I found a picture of a Brasilian supermodel (Giesele something or other) in a heavy coat.

Apparently most of the capacity growth will be brazil... we want to put the whale down there, but they won't let an airplane down there larger than their airlines have.

I know, why is that?

They let BA, Lufthansa and JAL fly 744s to GRU but not us?

It's not a Skyteam restriction because AF operates whales down there, too.... It must be a food fight with the US, then.

Brasil does that from time to time. Like their fingerprinting debacle a while back.

I know you have to have to be more accepting, being LAX based and all.

Looks like Roadkill and 2 other dudes in his hotel put down their umbrellas when they saw a news reporter earlier today.
