I'm not a subscriber, but they ran a story on how Delta is taking a different route then other airlines. Buying used aircraft and being profitable because of it.

and embrace painting all the airplanes from all the different airlines in the alliance the same color and saying this is Skyteam by Delta..

just when someone needs a little cash flow, swap routes, pull down your presence, shift cargo, etc.

they're very smart.

But its good for us because we have to feed all those other airlines' widebodies with our 88s and 9s. Plus, I think Boomer said there was no money in widebodies.

if pilots can figure out how to cheat the system with trip parking, airlines can figure out a way around cabotage.

How lucky we are to have Sully be the anointed safety expert. He is probably the single most influential spokesman we have today. Instead of grabbing cash and going to play for the other team, he's actually doing something to further a profession he has left. That's called stewardship. Old school professional at its best. Thanks Sully!

Delta made the front page of the WSJ. Really good press regarding innovation and common sense that will yield consistent, long-term profitability. For example, used jets, oil refineries, and a maintenance organization that gets business from outside Delta rather than being outsourced overseas like everyone else. Also trumpets the notion of only one union to deal with, and that one agreed to a new contract for B717's.
