WestJet to partner with Delta?

[slaquer5]

Westjet and Delta equal more outsourcing of Delta jobs to someone else. Why can't Delta expand its own flying by buying more airframes ?

Your type are the problem child of DAL. Why cant you and your type be like the general and be happy as DAL contracts out all the flying.


PS. General, it is Reverse High Speed Approved, get it right.

How many pilots are NOT on the Delta seniority list because of all the RJ's flying around?

How many billions of dollars lost in Delta pilots salaries by outsourcing everything?

I'll take Lubbock and Midland any day.

The gaps are closing. Not only is DL parking 50 seaters, but also taking on past 70 seat routes with DC9s now (ATL--GRR, FNT, DAY, etc). When the new FAA rules eventually come out resticting high speed overnights (or naps) and increasing the hiring requirements (1500 hours), the regionals will become more expensive, and again get smaller.

As far as code share outsourcing, that is a problem too. But, you have to see what benefits could result. Westjet flies a lot of intra-canada flying (they want 50% of the total Canada domestic flying), and very little INTL flying (largest plane is 738---they do fly them to Caribbean, Hawaii, and Mexico---places SWA doesn't go). They could fly people from Toronto to JFK (eventually), and they could transfer pax to fly south (S America) or even to Europe instead of Air Canada from YYZ. I don't know if DL wants to go to every Canadian city, but through MSP DL already goes to quite a few. Maybe there is more revenue to tap there, but with a couple flights a day to MSP, it might be better for them to help out with a 737 or two. Dalpa would have to look this over and make sure there are assurances, since they have the right to say NO to a code-share.

And as far as LBB, MAF, AMA, and ELP go, it is still not worth it. No thanks.

jetblue pilots=Have no say in the matter!

Hmm, jetblue and westjet, yeah, that could work!

We don't love codeshares, we analyze them and decide if it is in our best interests. We have the ability to say NO. You guys can't say that, and will be best buddies with Volaris soon since your own management doesn't trust you flying outside of the contiguous 48 states. But, they do approve of West Texas flying for you-----enjoy!

Trust me bro. You can HAVE Volaris. You won't find very many, if any, SWA pilots ready to codeshare with Volaris.

Gup

Hi Pot, this is Kettle .

Now with West Jet you might need to change your name to scopeout 737s
