Bar, the 10 new 330's were not purchased for the Asia operation. I was told that 777 time was going to be moved into SEA for the purpose of over flying NRT. I think NRT is dead, JMHO. The 330's are going to be used to replace the 777 flying as much as possible, and to further our expansion into deep South America. Look for more frequencies to Brazil if we get permission.
In a semi response to the NRT question...Fukushima may screw up everything there.
Oops, I see Bar had a more thorough Fukushima response than me. Cesium, it's not just for breakfast anymore.

The strontium is going to be a huge issue going forward. It's difficult to detect as well as acting like calcium and collecting in the bones. I would not go anywhere near Japan.

We don't need to move 777 time to SEA to overfly NRT. 777s can overfly anyplace from anyplace.

Interested to learn your thoughts ... please share your reasoning with us. Why do believe Contract 2012 scope was not an improvement over it's predecessor?

Quick question:
In terms of relative seniority, where do the junior most 777 and 747 FO and Captain fall?
Thanks

I always love how some DAL guys just love to say "NRT is dead". No clue of the actual economics, treaties, pacts, efficiencies, history, loyalty. Just, it was NWA's, so let's hope it goes away. Stupid. Do you have any clue how many pilot jobs would be lost if the operation went away. Be careful what you "hope" for.
We're all one family now (even with the 747/777 fence that we have for 470 more days.) Pilot seats are pilots seats. Even though I'm fenced off of it, I would have been thrilled to see 10 more 747s come on the property.
