Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
I was just thinking how many people are trained and sitting around to operate such a small fleet, that's all. Usually with a new aircraft, 5 or 10 show up at once, and ops begin immediately.

Good luck tonight!
I'm not sure of a time when ops began immediately on a new category. usually you've got proving runs to do and you've got to get LCA trained and so on.

From a fleet perspective we're going to park, no, wait, fix, no park, except go fly it back to the TOC, wait, OK, so we fix it next year? Yeah, but we have no pilots on the the MD88 and 757 FO's that are going to the sim for currency, nevermind ... lets hire some pilots.
For instance, the first 30 months on the property involved 5 different airplanes in three different categories ... I voluntarily bid ... once. (and I'm leaving two other changes out of the story since I was reinstated a couple weeks before training)

Damn, the Cards charter 7-hour delay is a black eye for Mutha D. Pics all over the news. And of course Shep lingered on them...he's still peeved about Delta scaling down in MEM.
How much did that FUBAR cost Delta in current and future charter pricing power?
What is Delta's MX procedure for a high-profile charter? Delta brags about how profitable charters are. You'd think a high-profile charter would warrant a spare. Especially in the shoulder months.
