Jump to postThe first 767 is getting a heavy check and an testfitting a refurbishment that I believe is very similar to the 764 its unlikely many will be done before the summer and this one will likely play a spare like the first 764 played last year as they work the kinks out but the 763 should be finished in...
Jump to postAll of you keep saying “Extremely tight seat pitch” It’s more than what’s offered in Economy, where most people have to fly, so be thankful for the extra legroom.
I think the seat looks great and I hope it is a success for Delta
B6 should start ATL-SJU. They could probably start with 3X weekly, and then move to daily if they do well with the route. JetBlue would be killed by Delta if they attempted this. Frontier flys this route and has pretty bad loads if I recall. With Delta flying multiple times daily including an A330-...

Jump to postI’d love to see some LATAM flights to ATL at least by 2021, it certainly shouldn’t be unreasonable. Could more WestJet flights happen? What ever happened to TAP flying to ATL in summer 2020?

If southwest wanted more presence in NYC, then closing EWR wasn’t the way to go imo

LGA and JFK certainly, or at least LGA... But I doubt that LGAs runway problems will be fixed in my lifetime
Jump to postGod god that’s a lot of fascinating information. Hats off to you for this wonderful post. The one thing ill say is that I’m very surprised UA does not have a single ‘Very Large’ hub
Jump to postBusiness and First are massively different. Last time I flew First on EK it was miles ahead of J in comfort, space and every other way. J seemed uncomfortable in comparison. EK J class hard product is mediocre when compared to other 2ME/US3 I’d beg to differ. Sure, QSuites is much better, but QR’s ...

Jump to postThis might be stupid, but if they want something similar in size to the 787, why not just go with the A330-800? Keeps commonality within the fleet and i can imagine Airbus would give them a great price...? This is something I’ve always wondered...
Jump to postI know there is a pretty big difference between the strengths of ATL vs CLT, but I’ve always wondered why AA cant sustain more international routes, especially year-round... I know very little about CLT so id love some answers
Jump to postIs it the signal of FLL decline? Nah, the only reason they were on the route was to force Norwegian off of it. Now that BA got what they wanted, it's up to NAX to decide whether they want to come back and re-consolidate their operations. If NAX or EK decided to cut their routes from FLL altogether ...
Jump to postHope to see this down in ATL. Would offer a far superior product from ATL-YYZ/YUL than delta often provides...
Jump to postSurely DTW. Maybe ATL, SEA, DFW... I wonder if routes like SAN or MCO or PHX could ever happen... Probably not is my guess
Jump to postThank god. I hope the 717 follows soon after.
Also, is there a future A220 top off order in the future?
I’m very impressed, especially with the new business class seat

Jump to postI keep hearing rumors that DL maybe launching SEA-SIN or SEA-MNL. SIN is high yielding (remember UA flies the old Polaris 2-2-2 config and its FULL everyday due to great demand) and DL is the only US carrier in MNL with a loyal following. MNL would be A339 and SIN would be A350 (that's where the fr...

Jump to postI can’t believe how easily pleased you all are. This offering is just awful. And to think Americans come on the likes of BA and complain! And is there really no second service? Just a hot towel and a tiny piece of chocolate? Wow! DL is absolutely not getting rid of a second or third meal services. ...
Jump to postNot flown Delta International in a long time. Does this mean they no longer have a breakfast service on overnights? Or has that been gone for a while?

Jump to postThe seat might be “narrow”, but at least its wider than the economy seats and lies flat... so objectively its a perfectly good seat and some of you need to stop whining and be thankful you get to sit in a seat like that
