Jump to postIf oil had been $100 / bbl, we would be calling AA mgmt geniuses. Since oil is $60 to $75 per bbl, DL's choice of planes like used 737-900ERs - which no one else was interested in - and is not that much less efficient than MAXs and NEOs - has them looking like geniuses. 2023 fuel consumption, milli...

Jump to postI guess the maxim of it’s not personal, it’s just business comes in to play. Many well loved airlines have folded into other airlines or shut down due to competition, and when we’ve gotten to the level of concentration the US industry is at, I don’t see things changing much.

Jump to postFrom that list I think EUG, RDM, and MKE would be the easiest to find success at. Delta is growing it’s reputation in the PNW, and LA, and historically, NW/DL have strong operations in MKE. I still remember working 747 flights between MSP and MKE.

My guess is Marine 1 from HNL to JHM.
Jump to postI wonder if pre-pandemic there were X number of slots, and post pandemic they broke those down the A+B+C+D=X.

Again, where that 14th slot goes (to me) is the big question mark. I think the first 13 are obvious though.

Jump to postRe A321 ovens, I believe that there are space for 15 casserole dishes with 20 passenger seats. Prior to pre-order you may have 10 of x hot casserole, 5 of y hot casserole, and 5 cold dishes, be it salad or charcuterie. Now with pre-order, if you have 20 people ordering hot…things get interesting.

Nah, it doesn’t need to be a widebody, just make the seat 12” and passengers can one cheek it.
