Airport Customer Service employees support the effort by loading and unloading the mail shipments during the established aircraft turn times. Delta Cargo scans 100% of the mail and tenders it to a USPS facility or a designated recovery location.
Delta Cargo will expand the mail network to include other cities where feasible, Nick said.

But it's good to see another profit center.

Best part of this is dedicated to Satch from Lein, Shizzi and Beer, and me. Honestly, I'm so confused but I feel vindicated too. Sweet:
The East
1.Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Engineering and science based schools dominate the Sweet Sixteen of Tough A's. Their workloads are higher and their grades are lower than national averages. Rensselaer fits right in with a high quality student body and an average GPA about 0.25 below typical private schools of its caliber.
* The Div I hockey team was kick-butt, I have to say.

They have not "officially" made a comment on them, but the "rumor" is that they are staying, getting what upgrades they can. 
Also, lots o jets will be returning from their vacation in the arid desert of the Western US.
Just going to tell ya that things should get moving here in the next six months or so.....

ACL,
I hope you're right - I'm a 12/2000 hire and I "only" have 12.5 years left and I don't expect to see the left seat before I retire. Holding M88A or DC9A in New York or Detroit (not to put the guys holding those positions down) is not my idea of an A position I want to hold (I live on the West Coast and intend to stay there) so if I can't be a line holder in SLC or LAX then I guess I'll be FO for Life.

I take my bow. My 2.# GPA was well earned. Actually, I worked way way too much in college especially early on and I never met coffee until five years after graduating college, I didn't like it. Big mistake. If only I had know about cold coffee then.
Anyways, ACL or anyone, how long until we swap slots, terminals and begin flying with LGA from right now if nothing changes from this point forward and the @#%()*#@$% at the DOT get out of the way?
And could SWA sue to stop the slot swap?
I think we should have given SWA 5 slots in LGA as long as they cut their operations in BNA, BHM, DAL and MCO by 9/10ths.
I'll hang up and listen now.

The DOT can make their final ruling any time they want. I would expect us to start flying the routes within 30-60 days after the ruling. Say March 30th and flights starting sometime in May. We are ready to move.
As for SWA. They could have bid on those slots in the last round and opted out. If they give them slots, it is a load of you know what. Maybe we should ask for route authorities we passed up on a few years ago. How about we ask the DOT to give us AMR's Chinese route authorities out of ORD. Doesn't make a lot of sense does it.
It they pull that, expect a very non favorable response from us toward are pro-labor DC contingent. (edited to remain within TOS! )

Agreed, but things can change quickly. Not having to do that flying now lets us add some of the international they want to do too, so it really depends on where they want to focus on.
