Buzz, in exchange for ALPA's agreement to permit Quito, you and I get to benefit every time we step into a -700 (a very nice airplane, BTW), whether we ever fly to Quito or not. The quid for Quito was bringing the -700 rate up to the -800 rate; about a $15/hr raise for A and $10 for B. With the expectation of many more -700s in the future, I view this as a good deal for us.
Spot on. That was very much a mutually beneficial agreement.

Hey, what's the deal on the seat available numbers for NWA flights on Travelnet? Looks to me like they aren't accurate. I'm sure I got an e-mail or two explaining how we may figure out the loads on those flights, but I probably didn't read it. Is there any way we can get accurate loads on those flights?

You can get very accurate numbers by choosing NW on the left side drop down on carrier. Their non-rev stuff is much better than ours. You can list and activate on-line and they'll assign seats a whole lot earlier than we do.
If you do the search using DL as the carrier, you'll get either 0, 4, or 7 seats with an explanation down below but using NW it'll get gnat's butt close.

Hopefully it carries over. Therefore I doubt it will.

Another great thing about the Northwest side with standby travel is if the loads are decent, you can pick your seat yourself and print out your actual boarding pass when you check in at the kiosk. I haven't ever been able to do that on a Delta flight.
