IAHERJ said:Delta is now doing what Continental started doing in the late 90's. I hope it is not "too little to late". This kind of yield management should have been incorporated years ago. That is what scares me the most about Delta's chances of surviving a Ch. 11. Over 4 years after 9/11 they have decided that flying overseas actually commands a higher revenue premium over sending 250 seat widebodies to FLA. No shoeeeeeittt?????? Good luck. The retirement benefits and careers of many people close to me depend on this late strategic move to work.

On Your Six said:I presume 767-300s or 767-400s. DAL may have to shift some otherwise domestic 767s to international. That's ok because the yields on international routes will be a lot greater than those found domestically...
PHXFLYR said:Until the "new and improved" USAirways caps those at $500 r/t. Seems to me this international flying is just a stop gap measure to stem the flow of red ink. Either one of 2 things will happen if past practice is any indication. One, ALL the legacy carriers with international route authority will add capacity to the market, thus creating a glut like they always do. Or,two, some billionaire with money to burn will start service with a handful of cast off widebodys and undercut the existing airlines already in the market. Witness MaxJet out of IAD and I think its EOS out of JFK. Sorry guys ...same playbook different decade

General... you ought to spend your time fighting what your mgmt is doing to y'alls contract and pension as opposed to celebrateing new service, IMHO.
Read the thread about Alask vs NWA mechanics and discover how much your mgmt is stealing from employees by setting up trusts that are immune to creditor while in bancruptcy.
I don't mean to rain on your parade. Congrats on the new upcoming service. I just think you should be more angry at your mgmt.
