Are the 10 RJ’s departing a direct result of your lack of scope? Can’t blame the RJ issue on anyone else can you? At least when SWA shows up in ATL, they will keep things moving. Time is money you know.

They could be USAir RJs, United RJs, American RJs, CAL RJs, DAL RJs,etc. ATL has a lot. And I can't wait to see SWA "keep things moving" in ATL. LOL! That will be fun to see.

Same thing was said in PHL, LGA and LBB. We're still expanding in those markets. Well, except LBB. We've kinda saturated that one. We just build the schedule to include the average delay. It's easy money for a pilot.

It will be good for both carriers when the Blue Swarm hits ATL. Delta will sharpen their FU SWA skills and we'll hone our courtesy when we see Delta Admirals at the food court.

Heh-Heh. Don't forget to brush up on your gang signs . . . . might keep ya from getting shanked on the ramp. ;)

Just like you have in SLC? You have reduced flights there. And don't expect 25 minute or even 30 minute turns in ATL, AT can't do that now. Try your best though, and then wait in line. You really don't see LCCs swarming over the busiest airports in the US (ATL, ORD, etc), because they are at the mercy of the congestion. Yes, you go to LGA, but you don't have the volume there that you would at ATL. And thanks to paying more for AT employees in ATL, those fare cuts of yours may take a bit longer. And we don't treat AT pilots poorly in ATL, they jump on our planes all the time. Try not to be so hostile.

All legacy carriers and all but one ALPA. To make matters worse, you allowed them on the property. I haven’t seen a SWA RJ yet, don’t think I will.

But you were going to allow Volaris and Westjet to fly your INTL routes prior to doing the AT merger. And AT uses RJs now in MKE. That probably won't happen when you finalize the merger, but you haven't been perfect. I think high oil prices will continue to take care of this problem anyway, especially with 50 seat RJs. More than 100 50 seaters will leave DCI this year alone. Comair will have 44 total planes by XMAS. That's good.

Except we can't tell Tranny what to do, cus we don't own them, dumb***. Thats good about Comair - UNLESS you work there!

LESS RJs ARE GOOD, PERIOD. And, keep that statement in mind when negotiating for your SLI, the "WE CAN'T TELL TRANNY WHAT TO DO, CUS WE DON'T OWN THEM." SWAPA does NOT own them. Your management will after the merger is complete, but SWAPA isn't losing a dime, and AT pilots don't owe you guys anything. Take the SLI to arbitration, and someone outside the box will figure out what is fair. Thanks for making my point. YOU DON'T OWN THE TRANNIES.

Speaking of Westjet what ever happened with them. Are they code sharing ( taking away flying) from any OTHER AIRLINE, now that it is not SWA? :)
