Heck no! Easy no vote for any contract that has a min on it. I'm planning on bidding whatever category will allow me to work 6 days a month (Tues-Thus) after dropping my nice trips to the hungry line swine for my last 10-15 years here. (Think the ATL73NA positions now with the dinner and a movie trips).

Ah, yes- More cities for us.... but wait? I keep on hearing about reduced RJs and more mainline. Let's read further:

No problemo. I'm glad you reminded me, I went back on to FB to see I had a new friend request. She's single, born in 1984, and likes to wear outfits Daisy Duke can't touch and is interested in friendship, dating, a relationship and networking.
^^^ seriously the picture
I have no idea who she is and we have 0 friends in common and her measely 89 friends look like a gang you might be familiar with out there in Socal. So I won't accept it because I know its a scam. Just like all of those pyramid schemes that really didn't turn out to be the get rich quick schemes they claimed to be.
But just to make sure I did a lot of staring to figure out if I really knew her or not despite knowing from the beginning that I didn't. I ain't that cool. I tried to just convince my wife that I was, but she laughed. She knows I ain't that cool. Too bad. It'd be fun to be that cool... 8 years ago.
I apologize for sharing that. Sorry. Back to Delta.

Okay, since I've posted links to a cow that can't mate, a rabbit chasing a snake and some chick that wants me... I shall now post something related to Delta from the WSJ today... "Captain ACL, firing solution ready, and big red easy button already pressed, oh Captain my Captain...":
Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) has asked U.S. regulators to bar members of the rival oneworld and Star alliances from starting flights to Tokyo's Haneda airport, as it seeks to rebound from its failed pursuit of Japan Airlines Corp. (JALSY, 9205.TO).
Five U.S. airlines are vying for limited new access to Haneda in the most hotly contested route award since new China rights were divided up six years ago. The U.S. Department of Transportation received applications for 11 separate routes.
Delta lacks a Japanese partner and, on Tuesday, applied for all four daily frequencies on offer, seeking to consolidate its market-leading position on U.S.-Asia services after JAL opted to stay in American Airlines' oneworld pact rather than to defect to the Delta-led SkyTeam alliance.
American, a unit of AMR Corp. (AMR), is seeking two of the new Tokyo routes. UAL Corp.'s (UAUA) United Airlines is seeking a single route while fellow Star member Continental Airlines Inc. (CAL) wants two. Hawaiian Holdings Inc.'s (HA) Hawaiian Airlines, which isn't a member of any alliance, also wants one route.
Delta argued in a regulatory filing that JAL and Star member All Nippon Airways Inc. (ALNPY, 9203.TO) would provide "ample" opportunities for its U.S. rivals to offer services to the airport.
"Under no circumstances should any U.S. carrier member of Star or oneworld receive a single slot at the expense of Delta's full proposal," it said in a filing.
U.S. members of Star and oneworld have applied for antitrust immunity to coordinate their U.S.-Japan services, but they also want to start their own Haneda services. American rejected Delta's effort to block its pursuit of services from Los Angeles and New York.
United said in a statement that Delta's "position is flawed, without merit and anti-competitive, which we find ironic given that they are the world's largest airline with roughly half of the total U.S. passenger service in Tokyo."
"We believe that DOT should and will make its decision on the basis of what is in the public interest from a consumer and competition point of view, and not what is in the narrow interest of any individual carrier," said a spokeswoman for American.
Continental said that it was "confident DOT will recognize the merits of our application."
Haneda, which has been closed to U.S. airlines since 1978, is highly prized because of its proximity to Tokyo's business district. At 30 minutes, the journey is a third of the time taken to reach Tokyo's main gateway at Narita airport, where Delta and United operate hubs.
A new runway is scheduled to open at Haneda in October, and U.S. carriers received four of the 20 daily departures earmarked for non-Japanese carriers as part of the proposed open-skies aviation treaty agreed in December.
Delta ranked a service from Seattle to Haneda as its first priority and, like United, said the Transportation Department should favor services to Haneda from the U.S. West Coast because of the flight times offered by Japan. Delta also wants to launch service from Detroit, Los Angeles and Honolulu.
The proposed U.S.-Japan open-skies deal only partially liberalizes services between the countries, with U.S. airlines allowed to operate to Haneda only between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. local time.
United asked the Transportation Department to make a decision by May.

And one more:
It’ll be easier than ever for San Diegans to get to Hawaii this summer. Delta will offer nonstop flights from San Diego to Honolulu, starting June 3. The new service marks the first time Delta has served Honolulu from San Diego in nearly 20 years.
Then, on June 17, Hawaiian Airlines will begin daily San Diego/Maui flights. The seasonal service will run through Aug. 24. An introductory $428 roundtrip fare is available to those who buy by Feb. 19.
But hey, no need to wait for a dose of island tranquility. Hawaiian Airlines already offers nonstops linking San Diego and Honolulu. Island pals rave about the airline – it actually serves free meals, in coach. When we checked this week, roundtrip fares were available for $400, plus about $20 in taxes and government fees. Book at Hawaii Flights, Travel & Vacations - Hawaiian Airlines.
