Terminal A in CVG has only regionals, right?
"...That means the jobs of about 840 employees of the airline’s Regional Elite Airline Systems ground-handling subsidiary are in jeopardy, although Delta may hire back 100 for full- or part-time jobs...."
Delta jobs will not be in jeopardy, right?
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Just looking for positives.. Hope one day they'll cut all the contractors.

Now that Delta has opened up new space in CVG, the airport board will lure low cost competition to the airport. This will be a win for CVG passengers, but it's going to kill CVG as a Delta hub. This way, Delta can blaim the pursuance of low cost competition as the reason why CVG has to cease being a hub.

They have only completed 50% of the displacements as a result of parking the 30s/40s. The May/June AE will finish that off.

Anyone else have trouble getting to the ALPA forums? I get an error message when it tried to load the web boards page.

That's a new one. I believe even an FAA inspector can't just take your ticket away during a casual inspection. He may inspect them, but he has to give them back as long as you tell him to.

I'm definitely not an expert, but having flown through CVG, that place looks like a ghost town even with Delta operating at current capacity. If anyone wants to compete up there, the space has been available for years.
Isn't CVG one of the most expensive airports in the country anyway? It's an underutilized airport for a reason.

Most expensive for the passengers for sure. Most expensive for the airlines, that I do not know.
