DL to give up 16 of 24 gates at MCO

[lowecur]

This is interesting. My guess is many of those gates handle RJ flts, but I'm sure some will be mainline. I would think Jetblue would be the main beneficiary due to their commitment to the area. Time will tell.

Spin?

"Delta will shut down 16 of its 24 gates but said the change "does not signal a reduced commitment by Delta to the Orlando market," and it will not decrease its number of daily flights."



Whatever Delta representative that stated the above quote must be smoking some good stuff....

I don't believe this...One thing this management team has proven is that figures lie and liars figure! You don't lose that many gates without some kind of reduction in capacity. Brilliant, The most traveled to destination in the world.....
sigh!

Someone tried to tell me yesterday that DAL was parking 145 planes...I personally don't believe it but, has anyone else heard anything like that?

RJs, not mainline planes. Our lease negotiations have supposedly gone very well. Most of the planes have been reduced at a huge rate. As far as the Delta gates in MCO, a lot of the gates for Song were just given up, and I believe most of them are those particular gates. We now fly both Song and Mainline in the same finger of the concourse. That finger probably has around 8 gates total. Maybe some RJ gates will go too.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Only one gate over there is used for RJ's, gate 90. The rest are dead. Delta cleaned out their offices there last month.

What a horrible thing to happen so close to the holidays. I am shocked and outraged at the thought of Delta cutting back to point that it can no longer squash the little guys or the airtrash out there. Just kidding. Die Delta Die. I am enjoying your suffering.

I love the thought of you homos wasting away in your crashpad dreaming of having a real life.

You know I was just thinking, he must be who the guy in his avatar is pounding the sh!t out of. Obviously very deserving.

Wow. Talk about a blatant case of big airline envy. Does anyone doubt that this guy tried and failed for years to get on with a major airline?
I've got news for you pal, what or who you fly for means nothing, you can stop feeling bad because you never "made it". There are great people at every type of carrier. There are always a few jerks too, you would be a jerk no matter who you worked for.
I would also wager this guys politcs are so far to the right he makes Hitler look like a liberal. That Rush Limbaugh show really has warped some folks out there.

Actually I thought he was a captain for Midwest, he hates American Airlines as well.

[RIDETHELIGHTING]

Worsts part is, if you look at Chuck Yogurt past post he is not a kid. But a bitter old man that flys for Midwest.

 

[Dan Roman]

Poor guy, I would think flying for Midwest would be a fun job if you liked were you were living. I've always had the perspective you can have an intersting and productive life no matter who you fly for. I work for Hawaiian and we have plenty of pilots who have very intersting lives and never had a desire to fly for a large carrier. Lifestyle is more important than the name painted on the side of the carrier. I also have friends with large carriers that are still enjoying life despite the hits they have taken. It's all about perspective, I think it's safe to say some people handle adversity better than others. This guy seems to handle his unhappness by lashing out at others.

All:
chuck/lawman are one in the same. Some punk kid spanking his monkey (ane hiding) behind his daddy's keyboard! He is not a professional or a pilot, but just some POS kid trying to piss PROFESSIONAL pilots off....If you just ignore hiw two screen names, he will get tired, and go away!
