Remember that this was prepared for the investor community that is pressuring the sector for capacity constraint or cuts. Ero, use the number that best help your cause.

IMHO, now would be a great time for DALPA and DAL Inc. to amend Section 1 to limit the number of 20-50 seat aircraft (and 51-76 seats) to those currently operating under contract and limiting renewal to 2/3 of leases coming up for renewal, with a max of 4 years on a renewal.
That would slowly draw down the outstanding ASA agreements, giving realistic and reasonable timelines for the sub-contractors to find alternate business opportunities and allow DAL to spool up the recaptured flying on the mainline side.

I'm looking for where it's written that we will be given a seat in the cabin if bumped from a RESERVED jumpseat by a Fed, LCA, etc.
Anyone know where this is written? LOA, contract, FOM? I'm short on time and figured I'd come to the brain trust here.
Grassyass in advance

Airlines have NEVER shrunk to profitability. We must find a business model that works, beat the competition and dare I say, oh no, DAMMIT WE HAVE TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO THEIR DOORSTEP AND BEAT THEM, drive the bastards out of business while telling their customers how much we love them.
Oh drat, it slipped out. Sorry. I'll go back to retreating in defeat ... outsourcing is the answer every market challenge. Does not take up front money, effort, or involve risk.

I don't know where it's written. But last month I reserved a Jumpseat in the morning for an evening flight. About 3 hours after reserving the seat I got a call from the CPSC informing me that I had been bumped out the Jumpseat by a Fed, & that they had booked PS on the same flight. In the same phone call they gave me my confirmation #.
I've forgotten about it until today and of course the commute's looking tight as usual... Did I mention commuting to reserve sucks?!

No one wants to see a mainline jet parked. No one.
Point is that using Ed's words he used today, we park those 9's but using that 100 newer jets and those RJ's statement, there is a disconnect there. The airplanes above the 32 possible 70+ seat RJ will have to mainline and more than likely 90's. My point is that there was a major hint given in that release today about the 90. It also adds up to a net gain unless they park 88's and it is at worst case a neutral trade out.
My dots connect a few things here, and I refuse to get a helmet fire at this time.
