Having flown my first trip on fifi... We had better have had those piece of junk 737s handed to us for nearly free. The bus is so far superior to the 737 it is barely even describable.

Those of you senior to me need not read this. The plane yells at you in a french accent and is SCARY because you're never really in control.

Oh, everybody should go to the bus....especially if you're LA-based!! Don't, under any circumstances, come to LA and fly the 73. Go east young men!

5 years ago there were 3 Delta concourses, always packed to the gills.

If you got there 10 minutes early you'd be waiting for your gate.

They had to put in a third N/S runway to ease the congestion.

Now, not so much.

Also, another rumor floating around the training center is that we are merging with Hawaiian.

What I think is REALLY sad is that it probably will come down to money. If Pujols stays in St Louis, when he retires they will build another bronze statue right next to Stan the Man's... How much would a guy have to be paid for THAT kind of immortality? Especially in a town that adores it's baseball team. Or I guess he could go be just another Yankee or Red Sock... I know that today's athlete looks at how much the other guy makes... but when you have $100 million in the bank.. Personally, I'd take the statue.. but I'm not always about the money.

Concourse A was/is slated for renovation and will replace Terminal 2.

Yeah right so let's push it off for a few more years and then try and hire well over 1000 a year? Not buying it. Sounds like a case of self induced staffing crisis where the company "needs" scope relief to outsource more. Oh and maybe PRP's! Yay!
