There are more presentations, BTW. I listened to the end of LUV, tried to stay awake through AMR's version of Michele Burns. LCC is up now.

The LCC guy says the slot swap situation "up and down" on a daily basis, and sees a more than 50/50 chance of something getting done, but it "isn't done now". I think he also said the schedule changes wouldn't be effective until next year.
For those holding their breath.

Hi,
Just a question regarding disability insurance at DAL. I've done some searching and I've sort of pieced this together. If you for example, have a condition that prevents you from flying again, you get 50% of your salary from DAL indefinitely? And then you can join the DPMA and get it 'topped up' to you last current salary? How long does it last, etc. I just want to know how the coverage works if god forbid you suffer a huge med issue and can't fly.
Thx.

A few questions:
The slides (Thanks acl!) show retiring of "120 of our least efficient aircraft over the next 18 months including DC-9-50, Saab turbo prop fleets, and 60 50-seat regional jets".
Weren't these cuts previously announced, and there's basically no additional announced fleet reduction?
With our DCI agreements, how does Delta go about saying to one of them that we want to eliminate say 25% of their fee for departure 50 seat RJ feed within six months?
I would think with fuel prices where they are, and knowing that the 50 seat RJ loses money, DAL would want to whack that fleet segment pretty hard.

Thought it was 4% overall, not just the Atlantic.

Read the slides.
4% total 2% more than already announced
3% domestic
4% Atlantic which will really take effect after Labor Day
6%+ in South America
5% increase in Pacific after the 15-20% drop though May.
Pacific was to be up 13% now it will only be up 5%.

Since we own comair that is where the 50's will be cut from. Was already announced a few months ago. I think by 2012 sometime it will basically cut comair in half!!

As for DCI they can, if they got 2-1 deals. Again, most are already announced. OH takes care of a ton of this, and my guess is they will accelerate their pulldown to 44 jets
Basically they are retiring 3 jets and bringing on one. ED did not specify Mainline or DCI.

Any "Latest and Greatest" about Delta during the day after a morning JP Morgan conference call... you can even smell the pipes and cigars...
And then when the night crowd returns...
^^^ 5 points to name that establishment.
