Hey all,
As I was reading over DL's newest bid packet for the cockpit crews, I was thinking it seems like DL has a high number of different pilot bases. Including current bases and near-term changes, they have:

One smooth landing is skill. Two in a row is luck. Three in a row and someone is lying.

Quoting Transpac787 (Reply 6): SFO 777?? Is that a base that's now closed (SJC?), or what?? I'd imagine they wouldn't fly too much otherwise
That's called a "typo" (error). I copied the info from a graph (very small print) on the last page of our monthly bid package. Sorry about the boo-boo.
Quoting Transpac787 (Reply 6): STL 757/767 is still open?? Wow, I thought they were down to like 1-2 daily flights out of STL and that's it.
A contractual requirement (created by APA) that remains from the TWA "purchase." Virtually all STL trips are DFW/ORD trips with a deadhead to/from STL. Expensive, but contractually required.

Many of these bases have co-terminals - in otherwords a JFK pairing for example can be from EWR and LGA also.
DTK is the Denver training center, but in essence the only aircraft that truly have a Denver base is the Airbus and 757/767.
