AL) will begin offering customers hourly flights between Atlanta and Philadelphia starting June 1. With the addition of four flights to its schedule, the airline now will offer customers 15 daily roundtrip flights between its Atlanta hub and Philadelphia.

I was thinking the same thing while reading this thread, Piney. I wonder if Carter Bros could make some special crow Q with a side of humble pie?

Yeah, except this was 3 years ago. It's 2007!
YAHOO
Wait a minute! Doesn't your "partner" work for DL? So you want him to lose his job? Nice boyfriend!

You qualify most of your statements with "maybe, maybe not". It leaves you a way out. Your cofidential source is unverified. While most reports of the merger concentrated on just that, a merger, you and the now defunct Mr. Ralphcramden focused your attention on a fictitious fragmentation theory that has now proven you wrong.... again.
Now you predict that the fragmentation didn't happen b/c nobody was interested in Delta assets. Clearly a desperate attempt to explain a failed attempt by Parker to eliminate his biggest competitor.
Like I said. Stick to your day job. Lets just hope your command decisions in the cockpit prove to be more reliable than your prognosticating abilities. They leave a lot to be desired.
No. You obviously dug this press release from the archives somewhere.
Not only is the date wrong, but Subodh Karnik is being quoted. Only problem is that he hasn't worked at DL since 2005 and is now CEO of ATA.
OH SURE.....I said the same thing on Monday..........I knew I was psychic !!
I'll repeat myself........DING DONG the DEAL IS DEAD!!

No. I haven't the time, nor the inclination to do that. Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who received this release today.
Sounds like a bunch of disgruntled LCC employees to me. Looks like USA320Pilot won't be sitting in the left seat of a 777 any time soon. Maybe Doogie can use some of the $10 billion he was going to use to take over Delta and buy some widebodies. 19 widebodies ain't gonna cut it.
And why do Low Compensation Carrier employees think Delta will be in a weakened state once we exit bankruptcy? Here's a little proof of our progress,
For the first nine months of 2006, length of haul adjusted passenger unit revenue increased 19% versus the prior year. During the same period the rest of the airline industry's passenger unit revenue increased only 12.6% versus the prior year.
We achieved the lowest cost structure of network carriers and continued to close the gap with low-cost carriers during the third quarter of 2006.
Delta was ranked in the top two of all network carriers in overall customer service by J.D. Power and Associates in 2006. In the survey, we ranked #1 for customer services across three metrics – aircraft condition/cleanliness, boarding/deplaning/baggage, and flight crew.
Delta has announced the recall of more than 1,250 flight attendants, approximately 330 pilots, and 900 maintenance employees.
Our bankruptcy financings ($2.2 billion and $350 million credit facilities) were, in total, the largest debtor-in-possession (DIP) financings in U.S. history. Days before the DIP facility was to be finally approved, there was so much market support for our business plan that the financing was upsized by $200 million, and the interest rates were reduced.
Despite intervening increases in market interest rates since the facility was first negotiated, the DIP interest rate has been reduced three times, and all three tranches of the DIP are trading above par.
Look out Doogie, we have you in our cross-hairs now!!! Try running your own airline now. But let's be honest, DAL was always a higher quality carrier than LCC. Why would we want Doogie to taint our great reputation with his "hybrid" Low-Cost-Carrier B.S.? Good riddance.

Here you go folks! Write it down. The first stown being thrown in the war of words.
YOU HAVE NO CLASS!! If the rest of your coworkers think like you...oh yeah they do.
Everytime you post, I am more thankful this fell thru.
