Is this why I'm getting scr3wed out of $25 per checked bag?

Let's also see them get rid of the MD-88s... they're just as bad as the DC9s, and a source of the vast majority of the noise pollution over the communities surrounding MSP.

Now all they need to do is get rid of some of the top executives running the company.

I had to pay $25.00 for my 1 bag, then another $90.00 because it was too heavy. That is ridiculous!

barbloso - Either read the terms and conditions when you buy your ticket for pack less stuff. Or blame someone else... oh, wait, you already did that.

"Those exits will begin when we begin pulling down flying in September" - what does that mean? They par down the # of flights in the Fall?

Delta is making the right moves. Just wait until the next time United or American has a strike, Delta will rock. If they wait, the unions will ultimately doom United and American, if the government doesn't step in to save the union jobs, like it did in the auto industry, for now. Delta's future looks good.
