I don't think he said anything about the DMEC being reluctant to approach management to offer preferetial interviews for furloughed pilots. The Delta pilots did more than just ask, the Delta pilots negotiated contract language mandating it, which is far more than was ever asked of the CMR MEC.

The RJDC and CMR MEC attempted to use furloughed ALPA pilots as leverage to extract contract concessions from another ALPA pilot group, their actions have rightfully cast them as pariahs in the industry. True scum.


You're wasting your breath, brother.
 
July Traffic

ATLANTA, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL - News) today reported traffic results for July 2009. System traffic in July 2009, including both Delta and Northwest operations, decreased 2.5 percent compared to July 2008 on a 3.6 percent decrease in capacity, and load factor increased 1.0 point to 87.7 percent.

Domestic traffic decreased 1.6 percent year over year on a 2.6 percent decrease in capacity. Domestic load factor increased 1.0 point to 88.6 percent. International traffic decreased 3.9 percent year over year on a 5.0 percent decrease in capacity, and load factor increased 1.0 point to 86.3 percent.


ASMs (000): 2009 vs 2008
Domestic 13,257,335 13,617,766 (2.6%)
Mainline 10,256,585 10,771,567 (4.8%)
Regional 3,000,750 2,846,199 5.4%

I still don't like this trend, despite what others are saying. Regional traffic is up 5.4% while mainline is down 4.8%!

Glad you pointed that out. Company has no problem quickly reducing mainline capacity while increasing regional capacity during record fuel prices. Makes you wonder.
 
Those large RJ's are sure adding a lot of ASM's.

Saw one SKW jet sitting next to me in ATL the other day. It was on it way to Bozeman, MT. Who in their right mind would willingly sit in that for four hrs?
