the carribbean we had was not there when I was there Thanks Dawg I do count cargo so that 3 times gee wonder how the dl preacher will defend the cuts
Robbed pretty sure it's more than three rounds. DL has been slowly cutting it and I think at the time of the merger NW had cut it back considerably. The AMS flight ended in the summer of 2011, I believe and it's final days were on a 763 operating less than daily. It was slated to return on a seasonal basis in 2012, but those plans changed.

Josh is right to a point Robbed. Kev can probably answer better than I can, but I was talking about big chunks of employees getting cut. In which case i believe this is round 3 post merger.737823 said:
As for flights MEM has been dropping before DL took NW over.

thanks to you all for the clarification that there just validates my point that DL is doing to MEM what US had done to PIT yrs ago basically

Help me out here; are you really this dumb, or do you just like being a dick?southwind said:
Pretty sure this is (wholesale) cut #3. Hot on the heels of the farming out of cargo, of course.topDawg said:

It's not surprising that the pro-union crowd wants to jump on MEM as if it is the lightning rod that will end all and be all for employees to seal a deal with the unions....
however, can we step back in airline history and look at literally dozens of airline strategic changes that took place:
closures of multiple hubs by US and AA - PIT, every other city in the NE, RDU, STL, SJC, BNA....
NW - BOS int'l, DCA
UA - SEA is just the latest.....
it is little more than childishness to try and argue that there is anything different about DL's MEM cuts or CVG restructuring that hasn't played out dozens of times before, including DL in ORD, IAH, etc.
and there is also nothing different about the way DL does restructuring its network than any other airline does other than that DL doesn't allow bumping of employees - and given that there is the potential to disrupt far more people using the union system, it is no surpsie why DL doesn't choose to do it "the union way"
I suppose it shows how weak the union argument is that they have to try to conflate an issue like MEM when the same thing has happened scores of other times in the industry.
