Had he in face smoked too much "ganJa", he would've been passed out in the terminal and missed the flight, or asleep on the beach eating chips ahoy.

Well, my comment is pure speculation, based on the general perception that DL is not a fan of the 50-seaters. That said, yes, I could see them shifting 76 seaters to the 50 seat markets and reducing frequency, and deploying C-Series to the 76 seat markets, also modifying frequency. That's what I would do.

Single aisle or 2-2-2 version of the 787. Call it the 757 Next. Boom, done.

Over mountainous terrain we get dispatched under terrain clearance or driftdown, so depending on which segment of the route they were on, the single engine alternate is predetermined based on the single engine net ceiling.

Wait a second....are they seriously blaming this on the regional carriers? Is there anything that isn't the fault of the regionals? Their second divorce? Their ED? The Patriots losing the Super Bowl? I'm all for recapturing scope, but GMAFB. This argument is getting old and played out. Retire already so I can move up.

As a CoEX employee, I'm not too happy about this. With a healthy concentration of people with Mexican ties in south Houston, this would be pretty devastating to our Mexico business. If UniCal has to cut capacity, for the passengers that are connecting to overseas destinations, you'll probably end up with some that have to get from Hobby to Bush (just like there are plenty that always seem to need to get from LGA to JFK) or opt for other carriers (think Delta, sorry Houston!). As for the SWA lovefest...from a personal standpoint, I've flown SWA a few times. We took off, flew some, and landed. They got me there safely, which is all I really care about. I didn't really see anything special. If I want some sort of special experience other than transportation I'd fly Singapore or Virgin overseas. SWA isn't even the cheapest or most convenient, but whatever... From a professional standpoint, SWA pilots have always been good to me on the jumpseat, although the constant attempts to cut in
