MIA-FRA

[WorldTraveler]

Can I get on this? 
 
Outsourcing 40%+ of its maintenance
Closing hangars in ATL, LAX, ORD, DFW, TPA
Not doing a single overhaul in house
Skymiles
The domestic product
The fake wood that looks like it game from the old galley floor meal trays in domestic F.  
depts. at TechOps having more contractors than Delta employees
TechOps Mexico
DGS
Dumping cargo cities when they are going to make 4 billion this year
being well under compliance on the JV with AF/KL

and yet UA, US, and WN all outsource more than 50% of their maintenance dollars and DL has more maintenance personnel than any other airline except for AA which is now heading down the same path of foreign overhauls that every other airline has done for years.

WN has ONE-FOURTH the number of maintenance personnel that DL has.

Wrong on US wt 700 has provided u the info repeatedly u just do not grasp it

 

[WorldTraveler]

no, 700 has repeatedly argued that airframe overhauls is the sum total of maintenance outsourcing while ignoring many other functions that US does.

DOT data - also available at the MIT airline data project - clearly shows that US outsources a higher rate of spend of its maintenance dollars than any other legacy carrier.

and 700 doesn't even argue with that point.

Well USAIR IAM is at the bottom of the industry so that's no surprise.

Yes the IAM that has received award after award from the FAA with USAirways for their maintenance programs

 

[WorldTraveler]

LH's 380 from FRA is cxld today along with a couple hundred other LH flights so maybe if AA's strategy is to add service to continental Europe right as LH descends into labor chaos, the strategy might work.

rinse, repeat tomorrow.

And USAIR is full of old people (Bob Owens' words) because the pension is so pathetic they can't afford to retire!

MIASFO is currently 2x 738 1x 757

BOSLAX has seen it off and on but it has been several years.

MIASFO always sees the 763 go away for part of the fall, this has been going on for 10+ years. Check for November 6th+, the 763 returns, a 75L is added and on December 18th a 4th daily is added.

I took the route last November right before Thanksgiving and it was a 763. I'm more upset wide bodies have been reduced to LAX.

Bless your heart - just like DL does when AF is on strike
 
rinse, repeat tomorrow
 
How is that list coming along - still struggling to think - it's very hard for you

 

[WorldTraveler]

I haven't produce a ten best or worst of anything for anyone and I'm not about ready to start for you.

if AA is predicting that this is their opening in Europe because of labor unrest, that is absolutely a valid strategy.

let's see how often this plays out.

to their credit, BA seems to be less subject to labor unrest than AF and LH are right now.

 

[jcw]

we need a list from you since you can never point to something DL is doing wrong - you spend every waking minute pointing out how AA will fail - let's see your list of things DL needs to work on - if you can't produce a list - it demonstrates a lack of objectivity - your performance reviews must of been a hoot - you were probably the perfect FA and never made a single mistake - DL was lucky to have you

Remember BA is the carrier with the pilots union that recruited members to serve as volunteer cabin crew for the 2010 industrial action so the "coffee servers" (words from BALPA official) didn't bring the company to its knees. They also outsource all UK airports except LHR & LGW and are in the process of outsourcing US stations staffed with IAM represented employees. And of course they have the lower paid mixed fleet cabin crews that staff a number of US routes.

or lucky that dl had one heck of an embarassment for the folks that had to work with him
