Don't forget that in NYC you have to cover JFK, EWR and LGA. There are some early shows going out of EWR for the ER now.

The Northwest operation did not meet any of its October performance goals. It ranked No. 5 in the industry competitive set for baggage with 3.00 reports per 1,000 passengers. Northwest completed 99.1% of flights for a No. 9 industry ranking. Its October on-time performance was 69.3%, for a No. 10 industry ranking.
So much for shared rewards

It isn't a pilot issue, but it is another set of factors effecting a commute for those of us entering a forced displacement to a f-NWA base.

Delta sees brighter revenue environment ahead
Delta Air Lines expects improving revenue environment to continue in months ahead

ATLANTA (AP) -- Delta Air Lines expects the improving revenue environment to continue in the months ahead, though sales of premium seats remain pressured.

Chief Financial Officer Hank Halter told investors at a conference Wednesday that Delta's revenue per available seat mile likely will show growth in the first half of 2010. He says the rate of decline has been slowing.

Analysts are watching airlines' revenue projections carefully to see when the economic recovery will gain steam.

The world's biggest airline has significantly reduced the amount of debt coming due next year and has minimal capital expenditures planned.

Atlanta-based Delta Airlines Inc. is not planning a major overhaul of its fleet. On Tuesday, United Airlines said it is ordering 50 new airplanes.

Ouch. 5 AM show and back at midnight.
That is one ugly trip. Unless you live in Newark.
20 hours for a 3 day is pretty nice though.

Thanks Xray. If they do this "bloody" might be an understatement.

ATLANTA (TheStreet) -- As the airline industry recovers from recession, Delta(DAL Quote) is seeing "revenue strength above our expectations" during the current quarter, said CFO Hank Halter.


Halter spoke Wednesday at an investor conference. He said the carrier is seeing continuing gradual improvements in revenue per available seat mile, a key financial measure for airlines. RASM was down 23% in June and down 11% in October, with single digit deterioration in November. Halter said the number will likely turn positive next year, "likely in the front half of 2010."

Meanwhile, he said, the carrier has benefitted from synergies enabled by its 2008 merger with Northwest, which Halter called "the smoothest merger in airline history." It was apparently the first time a Delta executive publicly issued such a strong endorsement of the merger process.

Halter noted that Delta's maintenance business produces about $500 million annually in revenue, performing maintenance for other operators, making it the largest airline-operated third-party maintenance operation in the United States.

I personally see 2Q to 3Q as the time frame where we will see a lot of yield gains. Not Q 1
