So new flights from CMH to MKE is the big announcement we have been waiting for? This was separate from rumored TATL and was the "underwhelming" announcement DeltaRules had mentioned. Per the article, Columbus is in the running for a 3rd OneJet base. I'd take that. Link: https://www.bizjo...

What DL is trying to charge for IND-CDG is a complete joke. IND-CDG-IND is almost $800 more a r/t than CVG-CDG-CVG. IND to CDG via DTW is about $700 cheaper r/t than going nonstop. I seriously hope that isn't the kind of pricing racket that IND is paying subsidies for. If it's anything like CVG-CDG...
