So previous company news was no hiring until maybe 2015. RA has a bunch of good news. It sure seems like mind-screwing during negotiations. What say y'all.

Not my take, he's very bullish on Delta and the future and proud of his company. However!!!!! He constantly makes reference to AA/APA negotiations and says if they would have agreed to 4%/year when they started negotiations they would have already had 30%. There was also a lot of other info put out I am loathe to put on a public forum.

The way out of that is for the members to vote NO on any TA that doesn't begin to reverse scope. If the members vote NO, it allows DALPA to say to management and the MEC's of our regional competitors: "Hey we did everything we could...but our members overruled us. Go sue them."

What does that mean? I know about many of the US-CDG city pairs that grossly favor AF/KLM but the sum total over the Atlantic isn't going to change beyond what the JV production balance says. So while we might "take back" more flights to that airport, all that does is guarantee we will lose flights elsewhere.
What else could that mean? It always concerns me when someone high up dispenses a talking point that only makes sense when you don't really think about it. It makes you wonder what's in the other hand you can't see.

I doubt they made an order that size with the differential between 757 and 737-900 rates being even the slightest consideration. While we're at it, SWA makes whale pay for 130 seaters. And they have like 700 of them.

According to Boeing it can just make London form JFK so a few other Western European airports are possible. It would probably work pretty good from KBOS. Not sure how winds would affect it.
West coast to Hawaii might be a better fit.
From the Boeing site:
Boeing: Commercial Airplanes - 737 - Range Charts
I will vouch for the 700s awesome range - I know guys who have ferried from Hawaii to JAX non-stop with re-dispatch and guys routinely do HNL to DFW, Ok actually NFW
Scoop - Thinks most DAL Captains are awesome - even the guys who don't buy the beer!

The minds around here are plenty screwed, we dont even notice anymore.
