When you say clean up award do you mean a couple of months later or more like the following week.

Yes. A few months later. The have done this in the past if they have not totally backfilled on the AE. The reason to do a clean up AE is this. They may not want to award positions that are not needed for the summer 09 schedule. When that is known they may offer another clean up AE.

Well, hopefully in a few months they'll start looking at apps again. That would be nice, I have couple good internal recs at DAL and it would be great to get on them. Even if it means a BOS LGA commute.

Word is there will be an AE in Aug, the unknown is what will be available other than the 777. The last one had no backfill but this one may have other opportunities.

Apparently we confirmed another 2 777-200LRs and the RUMOR remains interviews in the late fall early winter timeframe. Stress the word RUMOR though source is well placed.

Does that mean we now will get 8 total 777s to be delivered? Does anyone know if true what the delivery timeframe will be?

I was reading in the Shuttle Office at LGA that DAL won several government contracts for the next two years. I believe US Air had them before. This could be good to help us weather the storm.

The 2 "new" 777's are options DL is firming up for delivery in 2010.The NW DC-9's (-42's and-62's) are staying for the forseeable future unless oil goes to an even more ridiculous price.Lot's of RJ's leaving and possibly some more 88's.DL is still looking for 90's.RA's this am
