We have seen a tremendous drop in loads to our European destinations that we do not have a code feed with. Ala Great Britain et al. These assets may be better utilized where we are the only or one of the few games in town. We will move assets.
If all of our markets are doing great, we are not taking enough chances. That is the idea behind what our route guys thinking.
Be careful, you think a 757 is the RJ of the Atlantic, just wait until we find a way to get 737's to do it. If is cheaper and we can fill it we will do it.
At DCC we at DAL/NWA will have 192 757's to deploy around the country/world. With the 737-700 coming on line we are now able to free up some of those jets to try new cities. We will be doing just that.
Fact is that if it is full it is profitable. It is great on thin routes, but on high yield routes it does not truly commit to our "World Air Line" motto. That is why you will see many assets moved to their best suited routes over the next year or so. (Look for the 757 in a base or city North of NYC in the future)
