I do not recall at any point mgt. saying that the growth would be "mostly mainline"....I do remember that SOME would be mainline growth.

***Rumor Alert***
I heard a mechanic on the bus yesterday discussing that Delta has some mechanics going through B717 school right now. Went on to say SWA is offering a sweet deal on them - like a buy one, get one free type thing.

Republic was the merger of North Central (the surviving carrier) Southern from Memphis and Hughes Air West.
Republic was formed by the merger of North Central (MSP) and Southern (ATL) July 79. Hughes merged in 80, with a separate seniority list integration. They were a great bunch of guys, and helped temper the animosity of the original merger. There were a lot of their Capts. on my bid with first list.

All of the put two and two together stuff is just plain rumor mongering at it's worst and a dirty rotten lie by you clueless keyboard warriors. Delta doesn't buy used airplanes even at phenomenal prices, look around.
I mean the fact that the media openly writes about Delta taking SWA 717s, SWA pilots talk about there management talking about it openly in crew room visits, 4th floor types have gone to training on it, 4th floor types are saying the Board wants them, 20 used ones disappeared from the Boeing.com/preownedcertifiedused website the week we bought 100 739s, SWA has ordered a boat load of replacement 737s and says they don't want the 717s, and now that our mechanics may be getting training on it... none of that means Delta has the least bit of interest in them.
Remember, SWA was quite clear. They're not getting rid of the 717s... in 2011.

Don't know if there is a defense under the PWA, but if you need the break you might be able to work something out with the training schedulers. I've heard they are good folks.

Have you forgotten, Delta has never and will never ever be interested in ever buying 717s.

If jet fuel dropped to $20 bbl, I bet Anderson would be rebuilding the DC-9 fleet out of the desert. They're spending a boatload of money refurbishing 20+ year old whales and 7ER's with AVOD and flat-beds. Everything is a cost-benefit analysis. With RA's history, whatever produces the biggest return with the best (least) risk will get the nod for our fleet.
