It’s very encouraging to hear that we are getting more flying no matter how little it is or what type of aircraft we will be lying. I think the reason of keeping the 50’s for now is because you can not just replace 5 or 6 aircraft in one month. I’m sure the manufacturer has a backlog of orders, so it will take time to replace 5-6 airplanes. The question is, how many extra hours are we going to see at JFK?

Let me fire up an old rumor here and see how far it gets:
Perhaps now that 50% off all of our flying will be in the northeast, a Boston base is in order.
Hopefully Boston goes senior.

While the increase in block hours is nice, I would hesitate to call this growth, as Delta is merely giving back what they recently took away from us. Any thoughts on what "shifting 50% of our operation out east" entails?
I would have to guess a 70/90 JFK base before a BOS base, as there apparently will be more Skywest 900s floating around CVG in the coming months operating traditional Comair 70/90 routes....

Perhaps this is an attempt to make Comair more attractive to a potential buyer. Maybe Delta decided they don't want a whollyowned subsidary going into the merger.
Also...I believe that this is the first time I've seen the word "growth" in a company memo in the 14 months I've worked here.
