I've had a hit or miss with the DL GA's over in the B Concourse but the DGS "agents" over in the C Concourse make me wonder if I'm still flying Delta or if I stumbled into the Con Air terminal.

Jump to postAnyone know why there are so many SkyWest operated Delta Connection flights out of MSP? They operate the CR2/CR9 and E175 here on most Delta Connection flights. I'm curious because MSP is home to Endeavor Air's headquarters along with a crew base, maintenance base, and crew training facilities.

Jump to postDelta reconfigured A320/319s and didn’t take much thought to anything really: they cut galleys in half and put CRJ size lavatories on board- later on they created a makeshift retrofit to the galley because it was so tight the FA were all complaining about taking care of 150 pax out of a closet size...

The travel side of the company, yes. The airline operation is newer and was always pretty unstable.
So unstable its profitable!
I should have clarified, I'm not saying the company as a whole is/was unstable, I recognize their long history, I'm saying their airline operation is/was unstable. Big difference between working on their travel/hospitality side and working on their airline side.

Jump to postDon't think BDL-LAX is going to happen on Delta. Would love to see them start BDL to SLC however, either on an A319 or A220.
Jump to postLove the 757 and the A220 looks like a great ride as well. I agree with you, maybe it's just my imagination but I was very cramped in Delta's A321. Oddly enough, I have actually found their 739's to me much more comfortable.
Jump to postJust to add I still think the 717 is on borrowed time. Once the MD88/90 are gone the 717 will start to be phased out.

Jump to postHPN is a good example of how an airport turned into a monopoly for one carrier. For a while, the majors served their major hubs with RJ flying (mainly CRJ-200's and E140/E145's) while AirTran served the big cities in Florida along with ATL with 717's and the occasional 737-700's. In comes JetBlue, w...

Jump to postAre we sure all of these MD88's are being "retired" and not just going into storage until the summer season next year? As far as I know SBD bound MD88's/MD90's are done, heading for permanent retirement or the scrapper while BHM ones are just there for storage until next year.
Jump to postYes. Haven't had the problems on them that others seem to have.

While it is true that there are some very short 717 routes, there are many longer ones as well out of SLC and MSP. Delta is a...
Jump to postTo me, it doesn't make sense to put seatback screens on the 717's considering the type of flying they usually do (ie: up to 1.5 hours roughly). Uh, the 717 does 2+ hour flights to a bunch of cities out of SLC and MSP. This makes very good sense since many of these "long, thin" or "hi...

As is typical in the airport environment, crew members can fight and nothing happens.
