So SWA has revealed that their major plans for ATL is to cut flights 13% !! and to raise fares. Brilliant! How will we ever compete? TIC

Hey, don't forget that SWA offers exactly ZERO First Class seats, so I expect to see more "High Value Customers" on DL.

IAG Launches Iberia Express | AVIATION WEEK

"The airline will start operations in the summer of 2012 and will initially fly four Airbus A320s. The fleet will increase to 13 units by the end of next year. The aircraft will all come from Iberia’s current fleet"

"The decision is likely to cause union opposition, as aircraft are taken away from Iberia’s mainline fleet to be operated by pilots at lower wages."

A friendly reminder from our friends across the pond, management teams will scope out your Airbus fleet given the chance. Every contract starts with section 1.

Default PBS Notepad 34

Guys,

Did any of you actually fully comprehend the latest PBS E-mail???
I thought I might actually be able to get by with only a minor in PBS, but now realize that I must go back to school and update my education.

Anyone have a good recommendation on a school that offers a major (BS) in PBS, or do you guys think I should just flat out go straight for a masters?

What are our bag fees for customers? Is it that the first one is free, pay $$ for each one after that?

Go for the masters. Then you can turn around and be a professor to supplement your income until we get our huge pay raises.

Because it's the same small handful of guys saying the same thing over and over, whether here or on the DALPA forum. Are you saying that these handful truly represent the majority?

That's what we all thought they'd do, the only person shocked right now is Clark Howard.

Again there is a whole lot of good over SWA acquiring AirTran, not to mention pay rate comparisons right as we enter section 6.

The agree or liquidate stunt I hope falls to the floor faster than Clark Howard does.

All I'm saying is you have no idea if someone who speaks up represents the minority and I find it odd that you quickly blow them off. That's all.
