Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
How do NYC crews handle that? Because I see 4-days that start and end in EWR on the 88 that show at 0600 and end at 2300.
That's pretty funny:
It’s not as bad as it sounds. She didn’t mean it in a “these ignorant peasants sure do smell when they haven’t bathed” way. She meant it in a “I love to chat with these ignorant peasants no matter what they smell like” way. She’s a people person, guys. Accept it.
Best airline commercial I've seen yet!
Don't know how to embed the video so here's the link:

Pro pilot too. Like it.
But these two are great ads:
Forrest Gump, wilst being interviewed by Dick Cavett, with John Lennon on his right.
I gotta get a life, although it was filmed in my home town, Fightertown - Beaufort, SC. (as was The Great Santini, The Big Chill, and some Streisand film - she complained about the "noise")

Prince of Tides was the Streisand film...my little sister is an extra on one of the beach scenes, and your Gump film was filmed there also (Actually Hunting and Fripp Islands)
Denny, I googled "Delta Air Lines Form 5500". Up popped a link to download that off the "Disabled Delta Pilots & Survivor's Association" website. If you reference that, it pretty much validates what slowplay said earlier. As of 6/30/10, the D&S has about $1B in assets, but $1.8B in liabilities, with the majority of those liabilities to pay current survivors and future survivors of current retirees. Considering, its substantially underfunded at present, it seems a bit unfair to drain the fund further to pay me a future survivor benefit, unless, of course, we want to negotiate to greatly increase the funding. But that would be significant cash, and I'd rather have that in my paycheck, rather than the D&S Trust.

So do we still get the LGA slots no matter what, or is this some nefarious SWA scheme to make us think we are getting them, ramp up and invest tons of money, only to be told to give up more slot charity to "most favored airline" or the deal's off?
As for any 320 bases in the future, a whopping zero percent of that is net growth unless we order more 320's, which we apparently are no where near doing. So this swap or anything else still looks like a capacity neutral reshuffle with the only potential winners being DCI and probably Alaska somehow. Unless we're getting a lot more 90's (or equivalent) as that fleet growth barely seems to make up for the 9's going away as it is.

Unproduct... oh wait, slot swap went through... greenslips!
