There is a statement that lacks credibility: "Fins is correct."
First of all, we don't know exactly what the plan is. It seems like DFW might be closed, but we don't really know about any other hubs, like SLC. The last time I went through there I talked to the SLC station manager, and he told me Grinstein personally told him that he (Grinstein) wanted to take back the whole B Concourse and fill them with our planes (maybe Shuttle 737-300s) and fly them back to Montana again. That was from THE SLC STATION MANAGER. This was three weeks ago.
And then what about that lounge show in Atlanta two weeks ago with the management honchos? They kept pressing the EMB 100 seater.
Also, Grinstein, in this article, said nobody would fly on RJs longer than 2 hours. There would still be feed, and obviously RJs won't be flying between ATL and most of the large FLA cities, since we can still fill 764s. Also, throwing new 70 seaters on routes that now have MD88s will alienate many business passengers.
We shall see how much of his "plan" is accepted by the board.
Bye Bye--General Lee
