MSP is on pace to look like CVG. Hope we don't pull back too much. Several communities which NWA owned are heavily courting UAL these days.

Someone call the Atlanta TRACON and tell them DC9's don't have RNAV or VNAV.

Oh it's still a show but now it is more of a tragic comedy.

Yep and a few waiting for classes at a few other carriers.

They can court the communities but DAL has the corporate contracts locked up. MSP will probably always have a presence due to all of the fortune 500 companies there.

Just last week one of the Lead 777 LCA's told me we were going to lose another 15 Capts. and 15 of the 765 as well.

Glad to see he was wrong on both counts!

Oh, it said "210 days" in the preamble.
Just goes to show you LCAs don't know crap! I'm sick of "...I had a LCA I my JS and he said..."

Note that DAL is being run by a NWA management team.

But, I'd place the blame on demographic shifts.
