Meto. Is the 717 cockpit similar to the md80/90 series? Sorry for off track

agree. and neither is it a loss because the cuts have been made and most importantly this change doesn't involve reductions...just swapsMEM-based DCI employees were long ago impacted. IIRC, there's none left to impact.
M/L employees have also felt a sustained "impact." Whether this latest "slashing" is a non event or piles on remains to be seen.
My point was simply to counter the idea that swapping out a CR9 for a B717 on a given route would result in a net positive for M/L employees in MEM. It won't.
wasn't you but someone elseHow 'bout you show where I claimed DL was cutting any jobs, Skippy.
I can explain to you exactly how you handle seasonal cuts without impacting laborWorldTraveler said:If you can explain to me how AA is going to cut the better part of a dozen flights without impacting their workforce but yet DL is going to be impacted by job cuts because they are ADDING seats to MEM, then you will win a Nobel Prize in business.AA's latest traffic results prove exactly what I have been saying for years and the seasonal cuts prove it - AA is adding too much capacity to the int'l market.If they don't want to reduce their workforce in order to match their reduced level of flying which has to happen, then their profits will suffer.They can't keep people around twiddling their fingers if the flights cannot be profitably operated.The charge about layoffs, IIRC, came from robbed, not 700.robbed didn't bother to read that DL is adding seats to the market - perhaps because he says he has blocked my posts and he didn't read it in the article.Either way, regarding DL and MEM, he is incorrect about job losses.I don't really care what AA does about their workforce as long as robbed keeps his inaccurate comments out of a simple schedule change which actually adds seats.
no, you missed that DL has done that EVERY YEAR for a number of years.And DL is reducing numerous International flights from ATL and JFK to Europe, and even reducing DAL to ATL by one flight also. Must be the beginning of the end, since you criticized US/AA for doing that. So how is DL going to treat the affected employees?
