[QUOTE=capncrunch;1377370]You can blame management for that. They seem to think almost every aircraft needs a base in ATL.
They seems to think EVERYTHING should be in Atlanta. How much more can they try to stuff in that overstuffed place.
Atlantacentric myopathy.

Also, they keep shrinking MSP. Who knew that 5 years seniority would not be enough to hold it?!? That place was a fortress hub and they are ****ing it away like they did Western.

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!).

1) Were did RA's Southern Accent go?
2) DAL is trying to morph into an investment grade stock.
3) We aren't buying anything (any time soon). Our order books are full- with 737-900s and Bombardier jets

If we ever hire again, especially sustainable 40-50+/month hiring, MSP (if kept the same size) will likely be available to junior pilots again, maybe even out of new hire training like it was the last time we hired.
