Jetblue A-320 to Land at ORD 1030AM CST

[Nado]

Yeah, Delta's major hub, the ATL has no problems with delays now does it.

Your better than that last post general. How about "yeah our old product needed improvement, so we we stole, I mean borrowed, I mean used as much as we could from Jetblue, and called it Song." Give credit where credit is due with the Live TV idea.

Shouldn't you be calling for more paycuts through your union? You voted to lower the bar on that last vote didn't you? You get a little heat from that?

At least JB is addressing the fatigue issue. Clearly there is room for improvement there, I keep reading about accidents where pilots were fatigued, yet totally legal. I guess it is resistance to change, or less about safety, more about protecting union jobs.

Two things, is ALPA doing anything about this, I would like to read it? And the main champion of this project was a lifelong Delta pilot, D Bushy. Just a data point.

Also, just like when you read about a mishap in the paper, you don't go making up your mind after reading it, the deliberate person will wait until the full story is out there. Me thinks there is more than the WSJ report, maybe, just maybe.

Just when I was starting to like what you were writing.

Are you sure about that? Your major hub operations is at a standstill around 6pm every night. And, most people have never seen an E190, and it probably looks the same as an A320 at night when you are number 40 in line to takeoff behind 24 heavies and 15 RJs. Where did that great Song service go? IT beat you guys in several polls (Reader's Digest to name one), and now it is spread out to try to help our mainline and the old bags there. But, those Song planes now compete with FIRST CLASS on transcons, which also includes live TV (Dish Network) and bigger seats. That beats your service hands down, and we make money off of it. Our best customers now get first class again, and Dish Network live TV. And the pax on those Dash 8s come from cities we didn't serve before from JFK (ALB, PVD, BDL), and they now are connected to the world. Wake up from your 11 hour turn old man! (your POI says you can actually do one more leg to JAX! Go for it stud)

Bye Bye--General Lee

I hear Delta is going to try song again as they can't repaint the 75's yet. Changing the "S" for a "B" (hand painted though) or some black speed tape, and Bob's your uncle. New call sign of Delta smoke a "Bong". At least y'all get there happy and with the munchies!

How exactly did Delta "lower the bar" with their latest contract?

As usual,,General Lee can't help bash B6...I could say about a million things about UAL ,but I don't. Try to say something positive for a change General.

Observation. Doesn't the General work for Mama Della?

Another thing, countless B6 guys had a fricken field day with the "legacy" guys for the last five years. Turnabout get's a hall pass? I don't think so.

Amazing.

And countless DAL guys have had fricken field days with JB since day one. A handful of guys on both sides bashing each other. If it was not here, it would be somewhere else. So? If I see the General or any DAL guys in the terminal I smile and say hello. Most return the gesture, some don't. I am sure it happens with some of our guys also. When I ask for a J/S either to work or more importantly, home, almost everyone to a tee has been nothing but accomodating and cordial.
Everyone has whiners and complainers in house. No different than anywhere else.

These are some of the angriest and biased posts I have ever read from the General. I heard he is dating 32LT10 -- maybe he is letting him use his logon.

Let Delta add as many rjs and tprops in JFK as they'd like. The more DL customers that get to experience that feeder operation, the more customers we'll eventually gain at T6. 40 or 50 in line for takeoff? I'd much rather be watching tv or listening to xm than have a prop singing in my ear. Your management thinks they're putting a hurting on our on-time, all they're doing is driving customers away. DL should have learned from AA a long time ago. Build a fort around your hub, protect that with all you've got, and don't try to fight the battle on too many fronts. The future of JFK will be interesting to say the least...

This is nothing new, just the General getting back to his old self again. He was posting like this before Delta's bankruptcy, but mellowed out when good ole Delta started struggling. Now that things are a bit better (and not that there's anything wrong with that), he's ramping-up his old ways. Sit back and enjoy it....he provides great entertainment, if nothing else.
