Did they have a conference call with the anal cyst today? If so, did anyone take notes?

Please do some research before you post.
I have no dog in the Delta vs Alaska debate, however perhaps you should do some research. According to MIT Alaska pilots average close to $8,000 per year more than Delta. Considering they don't have the wide body folks skewing the scale to the high end, I would say they do quite well. MIT link below:

I see that Ed called the DC-9 an "inefficient regional aircraft". I surely hope he is not paving the way to replace any more of them with other regional aircraft, like the E175. Actually, he can, but they will be flown by pilots on OUR SENIORITY LIST!

That's just awesome, Ed did say:

Our domestic capacity will down 3% to 5%, as we retire DC-9s, an inefficient regional aircraft. Our Pacific capacity will be flat. The only area of growth for the quarter will be in Latin America, where our capacity will be up 4% to 6% as respond to growing market demand in Central and South America.

So we fly regional jets. And DCI flies regional jets. We fly 738s, and we outsource 738s. We fly 777s and 744s, and we outsource 777s and 747s.



Like Bar said, Delta Air Lines is making great strides to quit being an airline and just being a ticket brokerage.



We have no core competency.

CNBC "American Greed" on TV right now about Marcus Schrenker taking millions from Delta pilots. Guy looks about 35.
Hard to believe this guy bilked hundreds of pilots. Anyone know the scoop?
