Not to punch a hole in your collective bubbles, but the reason DAL doesn't do the flying is you can't compete with the Alaska frequent flyer program on the West Coast. What you're seeing is a FEW added flights to try to suck up some of the overflow. I'm sure Tilden and Anderson agreed to the plan a couple months back when they met in PDX to inaugurate your PDX/Amsterdam service.

And again when he came to SEA to kick off the new Asia service. Your boss is no dummy. He has no intention of seriously competing on the West Coast when he's getting the international feed for free.

But, you guys keep smoking that pipe dream that your LAX operation is going to change any route map colors. That GREEN in your Inflight Magazine is GREEN for a reason. Its MONEY pouring into DAL coffers without having to have metal and labor on the routes.

I think you'll look fine in UAL or SWA colors. Come back her when it happens, those candy colored FOMs can be confusing.

FTB, isn't it a bit sexist to single out a woman for doing well when she came in 8th? I mean, where are the kudos for the 3rd - 7th? And 9th...didn't he do well, too? Just partly giving you a hard time--you're* take take was the same you'll hear from the experts who get paid for their take in front of the camera. I'm with you and I also think she had a really good race. But I can't help but note how the double standard applies: woman are just as good as men, but we have to give extra atta-girls to the women, cuz, well, their women. Just an observation.

(This is my protest against those who use "your" when "you're" is what is meant.)

I had a rot put on my line while I was on SC but never got called. I did finally get a call when they wanted to know where I was.
