"From our discussion with .............., VP Planning, the Company has not yet signed an agreement for flying the 12 aircraft being pulled from the Midwest System. The Company has been pursuing several ideas including pro-rate with current partners and other more creative options.
For Delta in the fall our 700-900 flying should be fairly consistent. For the 200s, we currently have 49 aircraft in the SLC system. The initial outlook was that we would only be flying 40 in SLC in September. After some negotiation, it appears that we will have the opportunity to fly approx seven 200s out of the ATL and CVG regions, flowing crews out of the current domiciles, keeping 38-39 in SLC. Some of that eastern flying will be pulled back into SLC in November and beyond. So for a few months you may see SLC and other crews flowing east on extended trips. These plans are tentative and subject to change."
Looks like DAL's not going to be cutting our flying all that much this fall thanks in part to Mgmnt's creative abilities.
But ASA crews will have a little more to complain about with SKW securing some at-risk CR2 flying for September and October out of ATL and CVG. I'm puzzled why ASA Mgmnt hasn't been more proactive in pursuing "pro-rate flying and other more creative options" for ASA aircraft and crews.
