Thread: Delta bases

I am looking at my AMEX skyguide booklet for nov09...CVG pages are FEW...I can only find 13 narrowbody DL destinations and 1 international DL 767 flight out of cvg...some of those are once a day only....MEM actually has more DL flying than cvg...much of it DC-9 but a 9 is not an RJ...

I think it is rational conjecture. Everything I've heard from Flt Ops Mgmt suggests CVG will see a lot of RJ changes (Comair coming back home from NYC) and the mainline side will be remain the same.

Yes, I think someone talked about a RJ pull down in JFK, but I think some of those will end up in LGA, going to SYR, ROC, BUF etc to use some of those RJ slots we're getting in LGA. I though CVG was getting a reduction in RJ flying...

Source please... or is it just conjecture?

Ladies and Gents, New to the forum and obviously there isn't much movement in the airline world. Seems like Delta-west is stable at least. I am a military type guy with a couple years left on my contract. I have a couple buddies furloughed from United who tell me that the 65ers are going to be punching out here in the next two to three years. Any validity to that statement? Sorry if this reply is not on point with the current discussion.

Nope, not a Delta pilot... obviously from the above posters reference. I just remember reading a thread that had that information. (I think it was Delta). I was just curious how the different categories fell in different bases and how many and how big they are. I wasn't looking for someone to create a whole new thread, but rather point out where the current, "old" one is. Thanks! :-)

I was thinking that this may be the trial location for a Virtual Base. Lots of changes, and with 30 or so mainline flights a day it is hard to justify a full base there.
