Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) was left out of the initial round of slot distribution, as the carrier doesn’t have a Japanese partner. It must now wait for the remaining slots available to overseas carriers to be distributed.
Delta, which currently has two nighttime flights to Haneda, has said it wants 25 slot pairs so that the company can return most of its flights to Haneda after being forced to move them to Narita Airport in 1978.
The carrier is unlikely to be satisfied, said Mann.

Was hoping Delta would opt for the Surface Pro 2 instead of the Surface 2. That said, based upon what SD said in his last update and Q and A the Surface 2 is a much more capable platform than iPad.

J3101. Was part 135 when I flew it, so things like de icing at the time weren't exactly covered. Later did some time on the ATR, which we ALWAYS de iced... I never flew the Brasilia, but from what I gather it was quite a complex aircraft.

Meh. Flew the DHC-8 (100/200), which was a complicated critter in its own right, but at least it was built tough and it seemed the Canadians knew something or two about getting ice off the airframe (but apparently effective air conditioning was a mystery). Overall, a relative Cadillac and with a 900 RPM cruse prop setting, relatively quiet.
It had it's own set of quirks, including 4 generators (not including the APU), no electric trim (except for a backup) and ridiculously slow gear and flap speeds. The trim itself was wildly sensitive and the "cockpit vent fan" would duct superheated air from just above in the taxiway pavement through the nose gear well.
On the plus side, you'd often win slow flight and spot landing contests versus Cubs and the back row bench seat made a tolerable cot.

Delta Vies for Haneda Slot
ZacksBy Zacks Equity Research | Zacks
Major U.S. passenger carrier Delta Airline Inc. (DAL) is fighting with its Japanese and American rivals to get additional landing slots at Tokyo’s Haneda airport. The move is an effort by Delta to increase its presence in Tokyo’s downtown region. Haneda – the second busiest airport in Asia -- is set to gain 40 new daytime landing slots for flights, as of Mar 2014.
Notably, Haneda airport resumed international operations in 2010 after it opened a new international terminal. Back then Delta, which is the sole U.S. airlines without a Japanese partner, won 2 night slots, while American Holdings and Hawaiian Holdings Inc. (HA) won 1 slot each. Delta now wants a larger pie of the 40 slots that are up for grabs.
Dallas-based Delta wants 25 slot pairs that they were force to shift to Narita airport in 1978. Narita airport, located 40 miles east of Tokyo, has less attractiveness to business travellers as compared to Haneda, which is located in the heart of the city.
In an attempt to tap these corporate customers, both U.S. and Japanese carriers are lining up to get accesses to more landing slots in Haneda. Delta’s rival, United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL), is trying to get a slot of its own while its Japanese partner ANA Holdings is looking to get a major portion of the 20 slots reserved for the local carriers.
Tokyo’s extended business relationship with various parts of the world makes it an important destination for major carriers, and Delta is no exception. Moreover, the flight for New York departs from Haneda at 6:55 A.M., which is less attractive for business travellers. Thus Delta wants to increase its presence within the city and is particularly targeting the day time slots, which are more meaningful for business passengers.

Yesterday there was a rotation assigned to ATL73Nb to bring a 739 from BFI-ATL around 1730 today. Anybody see it make an appearance in the motherland?

Can we at least get a hub where our company is based out of.
