I've always wondered about using the 757 in a low cost operation. It has the lowest cost per seat mile of any narrow body I can think of. But can DL fill it day in and day out? In the all coach configuration they are proposing, it is coming in at just under 200 seats. The other problem that "airline within an airline" operations tend to encounter is the drain on the mainline's own coach traffic. You have to give DL credit for being innovative. This will be an interesting one to watch. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bahadir Acuner" <bahadiracuner@yahoo.com> To: <AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 9:48 AM Subject: DLs Low Cost > I guess what I overheard at the ATL gate over a month ago > was right. 757 is THE choice for the new low cost operation > of DL.
