So, how big was Song's er..Delta's loss this time?

[General Lee]

The money in NRT market is not the people but the cargo.

Especially these days, when the Japanese need it. But, don't tell Red that, he didn't even know the difference between the Haneda stuff and NRT. Haneda flights were weak, and they have been postponed, which is smart.

What's with all the hostility? We all do the same thing.

What's exactly is a "Song?"

 

[General Lee]

I've seen the daily loads. Believe whatever you want General. I unequivocally tell you it's bad. Look it up yourself. Compared to the typical summer loads that are booked in by this time, it's way off. Good luck with that.

Like tomorrow, DTW-NRT booked 153 out of 393 seats. Ouch.

And it's called research General, something you usually just gloss over with spin.

Hey, I just checked the DTW to NRT flights tomorrow too. The flight you looked at was an added section (10am), not the normal afternoon flight (275). The afternoon flight is 3/4 full in first, and has about 300 out of 328 full in the back. Normally there is only one flight a day, but looks like they added an extra one, maybe for the extra cargo needed to be shipped. The return flight back to DTW has a few more open seats up front, but is oversold in the back. Take a look at it again and notice the weird flight number (a 4 digit one) for that first flight.

It was one word that house wives (who made leisure travel plans normally) could easily remember. It was also fun flying. Many referred to it as THONG. I will remember it well. It did force us to compete with Jetblue and their entertainment system. Today a lot of our 757s, most of the 737-700s/800s, and some domestic 767s have Dish Network live TV with 25 or so live TV channels. That is Song's legacy.

2 flights instead of one usual flight? Redflyer really screwed up on that one. Any more insight there Redflyer? What say you now?

Shhhh, don't tell her that. She thinks the money is in transporting Ned and Cletus from JAN to BOI.

Another genius here. If you fly a plane out if the country, you will need a passport. Looks like you never will. Leave the challenging flying to Ty and Lear, and you can do Little Rock to Dallas Love.

Thank you. I finally bought a computer that can support "AeroSim." I got it for a Song. It is a fantastic program that lets us practice "Full UP" flying in real time. Tonight, during the Mav's game I flew from LUV to SFO non-stop. I think it's pretty cool that the "AeroSim" does not recognize the Wright Ammendment. It's kind of like "AeroSim 2014." You'll have to excuse me now, I am on a "RNP" to MAF, to MINIMUMS!!! This stuff is so, so crazy. I don't see how you do it. I had to have my 10yr old show me!!

Oh.

What if you Dead Head out of the country, do you need to get a PassPort to get back in the country? Or, just if you "fly a plane out of the country?."

Ty and Lear can have all the challenging flying. I'll be at the "Flying Fish" in LIT eating catfish and drinking schooners of Coors.

I ain't no rocket surgeon, so I had to "google" your word "genus." Here is what wiki says:

In biology, a genus (plural: genera) is a low-level taxonomic rank used in the classification of living and fossil organisms, which is an example of definition by genus and differentia. The term comes from Latin genus "descent, family, type, gender"


I see the word "type" in the definition. Is your comment an obscure "PFT" joke?

Momma always says I weren't no genus.

Damn look at that camel toe, her genus too tight.

If you see Genera Lee, tell him I say "what up." He is definetly a "low-level rank of organism."

You're welcome. Some people feel more comfortable flying while never leaving that "comfort zone", like going to LIT and eating catfish. It's ok if you are scared to try new things, eat with utensils, listen to foreign languages, get a passport, try a different airplane or not pay for another airplane type (we don't pay for training each time we go to a different plane, you knew that of course), fly over water when you can't see land, and go through an arbitrated SLI. It will all be over soon, and you'll only be mad temporarily. Have a good night.

OYS,

My insight is that Delta's 'profits' for 2011 are going bye bye. I didn't screw up anything, I've seen the numbers for June and July too, and it looks bad. You have anything constructive to say about that?

Delta also cancelled a flight two days ago that had 60 people on it, actually a good business move..

 

[redflyer65]

General,

I have to admit that's pretty damn funny, thanks for the laugh!!

Everyone can pick on Delta, but I will say this much, Delta has the Best FF program of all the airlines. I am enjoying my Diamond Medallion Status with unlimited free upgrades, free club lounge use, and I love how they are the only airline program to get rid of expiration dates for the miles.

I only fly on Delta and their partner airlines within the skyteam alliance.

Past 1.5 million miles, should hit 2 million in a few years.

Thanks Batsky....

We appreciate you here.....
