01Prowler Prowler Junkie Posts: 5068 From: Dallas, TX Registered: OCT 2012	posted 09-08-2004 11:25 AM Looks like my Delta Medallion status will be worth ZERO come February. Delta is pretty much pulling out of DFW.. I always chose them over American. Well I guess I won't have that choice anymore since they are restructuring from 270 flights a day down to 21. All Delta Connection will be gone too. What a sad day at DFW. I guess it might be good for the other airlines though. I feel for the thousands of people who might be losing their jobs. One thing I can say is if you think Atlanta is a nightmare now, wait till they move part of the Dallas fleet there, and increase their flights even more... Delay City! I've been a lifelong Delta customer, I always chose them first, and now I feel abandoned... http://news.delta.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=9413 This message has been edited by 01Prowler on 09-08-2004 at 07:54 PM

The airlines have been feeding off each other for years with discount fares to drive the competition out of business. With the whobbly state of most of them, I wouldn't be surprised if most weren't gone in 5-10 years.
01Prowler Prowler Junkie Posts: 5068 From: Dallas, TX Registered: OCT 2012	posted 09-08-2004 06:53 PM Yes it's very sad. Delta was one of the few airlines that didn't go into bankruptcy. They had a huge surplus of cash on hand, and I guess it's dwindling fast. Local News Coverage This message has been edited by 01Prowler on 09-08-2004 at 07:51 PM

Now they are restructering all the fares. It may be too late for them, here. Comair is a subsidiary and they are doing fairly well, I think.

A friend of mine is a pilot for one of their regional airlines ASA. According to him ASA is the only one that has actually been profitable since 9/11. Now all the regionals will be gone from here. I hope for his sake he doesn't have to relocate to another city to keep his job. Delta prices here weren't too bad. I usually always buy a first class ticket, and they were usually always hundreds of dollars less than American. This message has been edited by 01Prowler on 09-09-2004 at 09:35 AM
DR PROWLER Prowler Junkie Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 09-09-2004 03:05 PM The airline business is certainly a competitive one... There are so many smaller airline companies that have surfaced in the last few years offering much better deals than the major players! Pretty much everything these days is price driven which forces a lot of big airlines to restructure or simply get out of the game... To give you an example,Air Canada went for creditor protection(a step before bankruptcy)at least once,maybe more...Still struggling today! The times are most certainly changing ------------------
