Greeeeaaattt! So does that mean Silver enters the "cost box"?

 

[flyboyike]

Because Big Sky was such a success.

Because Big Sky was such a success.

Big Sky was scoped out of anything bigger than 19 seats. What's to say Silver doesn't start flying Crj's when the whipsaw machine keeps rolling? This whole Delta Connection situation is a complete joke. I could not be happier to be out of that family right now.

hope they land at the right airport...........

 

[N813CA]

WOW. What was DELTA thinking. They don't give a rats ... apparently.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

In order to remain cost-effective...does this mean our FOs will have to pay to fly now?

 

[N813CA]

Come on the General L.... How is this a good thing?

 

[Gr82Aviate]

Come on the General L.... How is this a good thing?

It gives the General:smash: a whole new group of pilots to talk down to!

 

[chimichanga]

They'll kill Comair, but hire a fleabag outfit like this?

Wow.

 

[rjacobs]

Didnt they already have somebody flyings Saab's? Wasnt their name Mesaba?

Same ******************** as CAL did. "WERE GETTING OUT OF PROPS INTO AN ALL JET FLEET" "oh ********************, that didnt work" "WERE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH XXXXXXXXXXX TO FLY PROPS WHICH WILL GIVE US AN UNPARALLELED EFFICIENCY ADVANTAGE OVER OUR COMPETITORS".

Bunch of bull ******************** if you ask me.

This is great for GL it cuts costs at the contract carrier level. Increasing Delta profits. Increase Delta profits increase DALPA's ability to negotiate a better contract for Delta pilots.

Thanks. I don't pick who flies the planes, or which planes fly where, except my vote did help reduce the total RJ numbers by 148 hulls, and add a ratio that gave mainline more of the domestic "pie." I believe though that any airline doing DL feed or codeshare has oversight from Mother D. That would make sense.

Just wanted to make sure every one understands what is happening.

GL it is ok to admit that you voted for the TA only based on the pay raise you received.

No, that wasn't the main reason at all. Fewer RJs total and a larger ratio in the domestic market for mainline was key. There was even tighter INTL scope too. A pay raise of nearly 20% over 2 1/2 years didn't hurt, though. But improvements in scope was primary.
