I would not freak out just yet. There is talk but no official decision yet.
Bet the end of the list goes DOH if they do in fact want to shrink it.

Bet the end of the list flows back to some carriers that didn't sign onto the flowthrough......
 
The SLI is basically deciding who will be furloughed. Quite obviously they can't announce fleet reductions before the SLI is done becouse that would blow the whole deal ala US Air/ America West. As for what will replace the DC-9's and MD's, my bet is that it will have 76 seats in it. And so the trend continues.

76 seaters are just about capped under the current scope language. Interesting times ahead thats for sure.

But, but no front line employees will be laid off due to the merger.....right???????
 
We will see how this plays out. DCC went quick now it is time for the SLI to be done too. Maybe a Halloween surprise?
 
So is the no furlough and the removal of six seat from every RJ for the pre 9-11 hires. We eat our young and it is better if we just accept it.
 
What are curent numbers for the "New" Delta? I figured about 12500 pilots and 810 aircraft. Is that right?
