I am glad our MEC is focused on this issue.

You are missing the point also. It's not worth the discussion to go any further. You and Carl win. I surrender.

I got to see all of today's racing while sitting in the E lounge in the ATL, waiting to go to Dubai tonight. I'll miss the rest of the racing this weekend, unless it's on one of the channels in our Dubai hotel.

The Americans have a huge hole to climb out of, and the Kiwis only need to win one more, I'll bet it'll be over by Sunday.

Me too. Wonder if the reps had any say in it or whether the MEC administration did it without them.

...designed to address the changing dynamics in Tokyo (HND and NRT) and the Asian/Pacific Theater and provide scope improvements for the Delta pilots.

This announcement is steeped in "we-just-rolled-over-for-the-company-again-and-now-we-have-to-brainwash-you-to-sell-it" language.

Maybe the delay in the 717 is because we messed up which 717s we are getting. Maybe SWA delivered some of these from the boneyard?

I know that you used to get 717 type for the 135 before Boeing and MD merged.

9E is pinnacle now Endeavor right? Since when has a more senior 9E person been higher on the non rev list than an active Delta employee?! This doesn't seem correct?!!??!
