Probably true, and really not any counter to my point. All I am saying is that marketing/ops are more than likely putting those airplanes in more lucrative markets, and using them to the best of their ability, and in order to maximize yield. If MCO is even on that depth chart at all, we would be flying it. But with 100 purple herb turds, and Spirit, and Frontier sitting on the ramp every morning, methinks the yield down here ain't all that great. I could be wrong though....

Oh, and you did highlight the threat posed by our vertically integrated, government subsidized competition. It's a big problem right now for the Europeans. It will be our big problem shortly.
Too bad our inept government doesn't give a damn. You are exactly right, they will be our problem very shortly.

What a joke. If we performed at Delta IT's level, this company wouldn't exist.

gaaaaaaaah really? Dude seriously, is there anything that ANYBODY does right in your world?

I have flown with numerous NW pilots who got a significant bump with the additional credit for furlough years after the merger.

Personally, I think the US Men's Hockey team is doing better than Russia's for the mere fact our coach doesn't have to worry about being eaten if he loses.
