How much of that operating profit for 2023 was made outside of the short-haul Europe? Just because they made a profit doesn't mean intra-Europe is doing great, need to see what those numbers are by region to gain a full understanding.

And the UA crew has some explaining to do..That said it seems to be more of this happening. Do we know that? Was UA on centerline and the Delta 321 perhaps was not up as far as it should have been? Based on the video the 321 was stopped well short of the two main gear markers and well short of the ...
Jump to postToday Delta announced they exercised an additional 12 options for the A220-300. This is in addition to the 12 announced back in July.

Jump to postMaybe Delta listened to their customers and are going to give them more legroom or another toilet. While I would like to think that is the case, I'm skeptical.

First off, they don't all make $400,000, I'd venture to say none do without a lot of extra flying. What they are picketing for isn't related directly to Delta but the industry as a whole. They are down on total pilots from pre-covid and with the rapid ramp back up in flights, any disruption to the s...
Jump to postI would say the only thing wrong with the data is that it is seven months in advance from now and the July schedules will likely not even be near finalized until April or May. Most of these are generic placeholders for carriers.

By definition: Airline(s): an air transportation system including its equipment, routes, operating personnel, and management. So in some sense, adding an "s" to the end would imply multiple systems, so one could argue under the "United" or "American" name by marketing b...
