Jump to postAre you still referencing UA yield as leading after the stage length adjustment? If so, I'm genuinely curious as to the source from which you derive that data. On an as-reported basis, it's not ahead of AA/DL. If you look at the DB1B data and break it out by stage length, UA leads across the spectr...
Jump to postThanks for doing this. Those are some really unbelievable totals for WN out of Florida. ULCCs are killing them in these markets. Also, LAX remains way down compared to pre-COVID times.

Wow 56% of DTW flight are mainline for DL. I remember in 2019 when it was like ~43% of DL flights were mainline flights. How times have changed. And DFW easily taking ATL in daily flights is surprising too. DFW taking ATL is definitely a function of how much DL has removed 50-seaters and even large...

Thanks for all the work - by hand! Do you have a master worksheet of flights origin/destination/aircraft type?

Jump to postMost of that is narrowbody flying. It isn't long-haul. DL has a very weak widebody fleet compared to AA and UA. They will replace the 757/767 with the A321XLR as it should have the range to operate routes like IND-CDG. There will be even fewer wide-bodies in the fleet in the next few years when the...
