Delta has a Western Michigan Program too. They have had a lot of success with it. I knew a bunch a their grads at ASA who are now here at DAL.

I don't think Japan revenue is 20% of Delta's revenue:
Delta Suspends Haneda Service And Focuses On Key Narita Hub | AVIATION WEEK
"...Based on Delta’s unit revenue for the Pacific region, operating revenue for the region and the percentage of its Pacific capacity devoted to Japan routes (nearly 75%), Aviation Daily has calculated a rough estimate of the amount of revenue the Japan service generates for the airline each year: about $2.4 billion. That compares with total operating revenue of nearly $31.8 billion for the carrier in 2010..."
With that being said, 75% of the Pacific traffic is Japan traffic.
My question is: how much cargo will the Japanese need in the near future? Could you run flights nearly empty of passnegers, and still make money?

I am too lazy to look it up, but in 2009 DAL used the NOPAC routes of NWA as collateral to refinance over 2 billion in debt. Those were just the America-Japan Routes.

I deadheaded over on Monday to pick up the remainder of my rotation following the HNL to NRT leg being canceled on Friday. Anyway, sat around NRT for almost 48 hours just to deadhead to HNL this morning after our inbound aircraft canceled the day before.
The hotel is in good shape but the karma is tense. The flight ops and inflight VPs are holding two a day briefings to keep everyone up to date. I went to one but left when it turned into a ***** session. My two favorite lines were, "everything is fine right now but stay close to the hotel so we can find you"
.
Wired internet was down in the rooms but the wireless was working fine in the lobbys and restaurant. Looks like there is at least one rolling blackout per day and laundry is now running two days.
All I can think of.........except my admiration of the Japanese just took at big jump upwards. All this devastation and no looting or crime increases. No price gouging, in fact it's just the opposite. Truly amazing people.

I'm saying this partly out of self-interest, because I don't want to see flying curtailed, but also because I think that if my country was in shambles, I'd take a dim view of carriers that stop taking people and supplies to and from.
...of course, "safe paths" would mean routes that effectively avoid any radiation, hotels in the right locations, and planes on the ground ready to move people. Not putting some b.s. video in your v-file about "radiation and you", along the lines of that useless "malaria and you" stuff we get for Africa.

Correct. It appears we have a commitment to see the course as long as it does not effect the safety of our crews. I know a bunch of pilots flying the Intraport Operation, and all are saying it is basically business as usual except for the VP's greeting you at sign in!
