I can swear I read yesterday on a thread here on a.net that the flight is loaded as ATL-BOM with the 777LR. I will try to find the thread and the post. EDIT: Here is the thread.Reply#11 https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1413719 That reply is gone/moved. And if its the reply th...
Jump to postI am of the opinion that legislation should be passed (or a constitutional amendment) to severely curtail any state and local government from offering economic development incentives under the guise of interstate commerce--it's the only way to stop the race to the bottom. There's a great NPR podcas...
Jump to postYikes. This is awful. It's my hope that he steps down immediately.
Also if there was a firm that was hired to do oppo research on him during the campaign and they missed this I hope whomever paid them is clawing their money back.
You have that a bit backwards Detroiters pay higher than average fares to support the over saturation in the major markets of the US and the low fares that are offered their by the abundance of competition. Try living in a city like DSM and OMA and flying a legacy carrier and then your tune might c...
Jump to postI will confess to not being particularly well versed on the terms of the deal that's bringing Foxconn to Wisconsin, but just on the surface are these incentive/subsidy figures correct? $4.8 BILLION for 13,000 jobs? Someone please correct my math if I'm wrong, but that's more than twice what the comb...
Jump to postI think any way you cut it this acquisition was a disaster for Delta, and this article does a pretty effective job at explaining why and how they've finally come to terms with that.
Jump to postWe can justify what Delta does all day long but it in no way benefits the customer or the airport. Delta exists for the primary purpose of maximizing shareholder wealth; thus, shareholder well-being trumps the interests of the customer or the airport. I understand your theory but Detroit is a loyal...
Jump to postThe main reason is because Delta needs the Detroit passenger fed through ATL as much as possible to keep their hourly flights to Florida viable. The more traffic that gets diverted away from ATL-Florida the lower their load factors would be. So if there were nonstop to SRQ or VPS the problem for De...
Jump to postUnless DL puts a refurbished 777 with the Delta One Suite on LAX-SYD consistently, it would seem this route is ripe for the A350 as DL will otherwise have a less competitive product in what is a crowded field. QF are upgrading their A380s, AA has the 789 on the route, as does UA, or is the A350 too...

Jump to postThe first female president will be a Democrat. I'll bet 1,000 dollars against you on that.

Jump to postLAX-SYD? The a.net 'myth' turned out to not be a myth. I'm told Ed confirmed while visiting LAX earlier this week during an employee townhall that DL's current A350s cannot make LAX-SYD without a penalty that DL is unwilling to take, so DL will be putting their retro-fitted 777 that includes the De...
Jump to postI know DL extended SRQ through August on Saturdays, but someone is going to have to do it with a more regular schedule. We already know F9 wont do it, or else they would've already added it. G4 doesn't fly to DTW, so they won't do it. This leaves NK as the only realistic option left. See this is th...
Jump to postEhhh not sure how you figure UA is weaker than AA or DL for that matter in SoCal? They have a sizeable presence at SAN, SNA and are tied in second for market share at LAX. In 2018 DL deployed a full 1.4 million more seats in and out of LAX when compared to UA representing 1.3% in incremental seat s...

Jump to postThank you for this so SY is applying about the same amount of pressure on DL at MSP as NK is applying to DL here in Detroit .
