Heard that the initial LCA's will also be sim instructors.

No that's not true. The initial sim instructors are already hired and trained. None are also Lca's.

I just watched Richard's interview from yesterday:

Delta Air Lines CEO on State of Company - CNBC

My new favoirte buzzword:

Jet Crack!

We gotta have mo' Jet Crack! Gimme some of that Jet Crack! I need a fix of that Jet Crack!

(I heard you can make it in your garage, all you need is a plastic jet and some batteries, then you sniff the fumes)

I was gonna pay the pilots back, but then I got high (on Jet Crack!)

I was gonna buy widebody jets, but then I got high,

I don't need to hire pilots and I know why.

Why Man?

Because I got high(er ALV's) because I got high(er reserve utilization), because I got high(er stock price, which is how I get paid!).

Looks also like many junior DC9A's who got displaced couldn't hold the same position on what some would call it's replacement due to SLI dynamics. I guess the same could be said for moving the 320's, 330's and other planes around. I remember reading in about 5 years from the SLI date is when some of the angst would start to become apparent for certain seniority levels. Is what it is.

All I know is Atlanta just keeps getting more and more senior with every bid.

Hard to get more senior in MSP/DTW with the constant shift of flying, as we all know.
