well, I knew the DFW hub would close.. DH was told that long ago which was why he switched over to ATL...

it's too bad that so many jobs will be lost but some of those management jobs really weren't needed, so we'll have to see what happens in the future. Hopefully, they can get the money they need in reducing the costs that can be reduced (without layoffs first)...

but i'm surprised that there was no mention of "well, the DL pilots won't give in to our super outrageous concession demands, so this is what we have to do to compensate".... i was waiting to see some type of mumbo jumbo like that!

that REALLY Suxs for the DFW folks, that's going to be a lot of lost jobs.. I wonder if they'll offer to have them work at one of the other bases or what not? I wonder if American would be willing to hire those folks on then or what?

Any word on when the actual hub will close? I've heard Jan 31st 2005 is the final date???? I wonder if they'll keep the regional guys there though to ferry in between hubs?
