If I were DAL, I would take every spare airplane in the desert and throw it in SEA/LAX domestically. Mirror ALKs feed into SEA and LAX. When AMR comes knocking, run the price up, then bail knowing you already had alternate feed in place. AMR then pays top dollar for nothing.
It's unfortunate that we're in this relationship with ALK, but it's been a long (and positive) relationship, and it seems to be working. If we want more, we'll have to do the honorable thing, and propose, I'm afraid.

Well, they're under the Advance Entitlement portion of the posting. I know MDs and VDs are run first, but I would guess those would all be posted under the displacements section of the award. I assume that anything processed and posted under Advance Entitlement is in no way connected to a VD or MD, but I don't really feel like I understand the process thoroughly. In other words, if people were awarded that position with an AE, then they were awarded it after all the displacements were processed. It's confusing enough that I'm starting to confuse myself. I'll call Monday.....

Hmmm... I tried to use my card yesterday for a $3 prescription copay and it was declined.

Heard an interesting NATCO 3rd floor tidbit jumpseating in tonight - Delta is getting ready to glass the -50s. Source is a former 3rd floor denizen, so I have high confidence in his statement. Looks like they might be here for the long haul.

This thread is always so amusing. We simultaneously have a discussion of dental benifets, the JAL deal, and the AE.
So, in continuing that tradition, how many 90's did we have before this latest deal with China Eastern, and how many are we up to now? I though we were already in the high 20's with the last batch we bought, but maybe my math is off.
