Delta Makes a little cash/ Info only/ please no bashing

[Superpilot92]

does everyone think that the bags will be an issue when SWA is in Atlanta full-time with no AT left? It will be interesting to see when that does finally happen.

my guess is when SWA has the tranny computer system to track and charge for bags, they will. theres too much money they're missing out on and they know it.

Its simple, tickets are taxed bags are not, keep tickets lower and charge for bags instead raising tickets and you boost profits without having the gubment grabbing more out of the cookie jar.

Nice job Delta! It's great to see in such a crap economy.

Right, because the ATC system and airports don't need modernizing. Better give that money to the Mitt Romney's of the world.

You're hoping something goes hay-wire aren't you? Moderator or instigator?



Nice job Delta!! That's a lot of coin.

How much of the profit was from bags? If those bags dry up, you'll be just like the rest of us!!

Kind of how your airline would have only made $66 million without your fuel hedging. I think there is a heafty amount of bag fees in our profit, as are food service, movies and other amenities that your lower tier airlines don't offer. Welcome to Atlanta sw.

Good on ya Delta... if theirs really that much in bags I'm all for it...

 

[Whataburger]

Thx.

As an airline pilot, I never dismiss the idea that I might need another job someday.

I say make 1st checked bag free, $10 for "carry-on" over 1 item. That would clear the bins, ensure better on-time results, and prevent last-minute gate checking. There are SO many times we're "Pre-checking" and "gate-checking" bags 10 mins before departure which is hard for the gate, the FA's and the ramp...and we're carrying the bags for free anyway.

Or maybe you need to get off your behind and assist the passengers - the job you were hired to do in the first place!

Let me know how that works out for you.

I'm curious of the tone of your post? Aren't you a moderator? If so, and this is flamebait, you need to remove yourself asap please.
If it's anything other than that, please accept my apologies in advance.

Scoott 11 and Whataburger, my apologies at the choice of words I used. I posted my statement as anything Delta or Southwest has the potential at drawing the most crossfire. My statement was not intended to fan the flames. Thank you for pointing out the responsibility in both being a member and a moderator.

Nice response, But you should remove yourself.

You are on a pilot board not a baggage handler or ramp agent board. No pilot here was hired to handle bags.

Thanks for the reply. Sometimes we get into the ready, fire aim mentality.
It's all good......
