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?"

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.
