All things taken into account, I think Boeing will get this deal firmed!
Jump to postIf you have 4.3 billion passengers and same problem for everyone in industry, then simply by putting real information in front of your passengers you can change public opinion of flight shaming! Whole industry must take measures in order to show real greenwashing intentions of green politicians!
Jump to postIf Europeans wants another mega hub, like CDG, AMS, FRA and MUC they should approve this merger. Yes they will unfortunately need to do some changes and sacrifices, but in my opinion it is possible.

Similar thing happened to FedEx a300. Also I remember similar thing at MRO when they have started lifting a319 on the tail. Unfortunately structural damage happened, but airplane was fixed and it is still flying!
Jump to postJetBlue is super profitable so buying it would mean paying premium. But even if Delta and JetBlue agree on price, they would still need regulatory approval. Also this would mean getting rid of some important slots on JFK and BOS so merger would not be “cost effective”. Also need to take into conside...

United- 50XLR
Frontier- 18XLR
JetBlue- 13XLR

Southend will have 20 mil. passengers but in 2040.
Jump to postRemember Delta is also a owner of 49% of Aeroméxico and that isn’t problem for Delta. I can see this SRB move, as a way to make money selling it or staying onboard taking 51% of profits.
