She can't relax, that time of the month ya know.

 

[General Lee]

Relax dude!
I was just wondering if you and your fellow dispatchers ever get a chance to see these type of places from the front of the bus. It's some pretty country.

Great desperate response via your obvious frustration. Well done.

So as a delta passanger, I went from 5x a day in a 737 to 1 flight in a RJ.

Great move.....

No way will Alaska lose business on these routes when they start to use the SkyWest MRJs in the future... Watch out Delta!

There'll be no MRJs flying for Alaska. The E175s, yes; anouncement coming.

Uhhhhhhh, can you provide city pairs please? Are you talking about your SEA to LGB flights via MD80s long ago? Didn't they go to RJs? Oh wait, I think they were just cut for good. That's too bad, looks like JB kicked your butz. Wasn't Jet America based there long ago? That's too bad.

But, AK's lack of specific scope could allow it, right? What is the seat limit on RJs flying for AK?

Ohhhh, well, you guys don't want any competition on any of those routes, even a 76 seat RJ. If the loads are great, maybe a 737 could be used during the next Summer season. But, DL pax will connect onto a Delta Connection plane, which is better than a code share with you guys. All the money goes to DL, and I bet it will help achieve the possible $6 Billion profit next year thanks to lower oil. That would literally be fannnnnntastic.

SEATTLE, Nov. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines (DAL) will launch daily nonstop service next spring from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to five new destinations in the continued expansion of its West Coast hub. Tickets will be available for purchase November 22.

Isn't it amazing what all of those NWA, UAL and CAL execs can accomplish when they work together?

 

[Ex737Driver]

The debt will be down to $5 Billion by 2016,(maybe $7 billion now) and it was in the $18-19 Billion range in 2009. I'd say that's a huge amount of debt paid down. I believe some debt would be kept (maybe a "poison pill" for anyone looking at DL as an aquistion), and the other big 2 have a lot more debt total. (AA has $21 Billion in debt now I believe)

You are looking at a revenue monster, and low oil means a possible $6 billion profit next year. Ummm, yeeeah.



Bye Bye---General Lee

With oil as low as it is, look to see ALL airlines significantly lowering "book" debt.
