That too. You can rarely if ever fool the market long term with little tricks like this. There really needs to be a major investor paradigm shift that results from all of this, and I just don't see the upside from things like this having all that much potential, especially when they are guaranteed to cost us more than they save us (winglets, hiring, etc).

Are you junior Delta pilots seriously beotching/venting about life for a 2008 hire to now? You do realize the life of a RJ FO that was DOH in 2008, is, surprise! Still a RJ FO. There are thousands of pilots with applications at Delta that would love to be in your shoes.

Just went to "The Left Seat" 2 weeks ago. Good stuff, really enjoyed it. Talked to 767/757 fleet guys and they said that we are going down to 60 757's soon!!!!! I'm assuming he meant -200's and not including the -ER's from TWA. VERY dissapointed to hear that. To be replaced by an underpowered 737. Our dear 757's are twice the jet a 73 is!!!!!

I think the trannys called it the "electric-9" or something like that.
Is it too un-PC to call it "girl pig" or piglet? You know, a pig with lipstick. Nevermind, if you have to explain it then it isn't funny.
Lapdog? Ankle Biter? The "HaHa you thought you were getting the summer off" jet? Something about the hiring in 2012 jet? What? Too complicated/too soon?
BINO (Boeing in Name Only?)

I've heard the same about the motors. They perform very well on the runway and at cruise.
When the Trannies first took delivery of the 717s they had huge BMW stickers on the side of the engines. They have since removed them. Don't know why. I think we should put those things back on them.
Add a little German engineering prestige to the livery.
And Delta used to have the old "Dependable Engines" logo on most of our nacelles.
I liked those stickers. Anybody know why we don't do that anymore?

Are the new little tiny cups of coffee for the person that carries the little tiny luggage on board via the safety vid?
