If you are a T-Mobile customer you have this on Alaska....Wifi sucks and you end up paying the $8 for Gogo wifi Was able to try this already in December as a Skymiles member - haven't tried Alaska's, but on both of my flights in December on DL, it was fantastic.

In the U.S. boarding via airstairs is seen as weird, I have personally only used stairs once in the U.S. when I was on an AA MD80 and the jetway broke so we left via the rear airstairs. While it might provide marginal timing improvements, it probably wouldn't go over well with the public and the be...
Jump to postWhere was there any mention or even speculation that this trend would affect A330neo sales and not 787 sales? Look at the 4th paragraph of the post mjoelnir responded to. That particular paragraph clearly isolates the a330neo in relation to second hand a330ceos and 787-8. How so? We're discussing t...
Jump to post... Somebody who followed the sales history of both the 787 and A330? People seem to forget, that the bigger part of A330 sold since the 787 is on offer. In the five year period 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 the 787 sold 41, 71, 58, 94 and 109 respectively. The A330 sold 154, 136, 83, 21, 27. That m...
Jump to post... ... An question to one of the strange arguments you present, in what way does cheap second hand A330 and perhaps 787, do influence A330neo sales, but not 787 sales? I see quite a few reputable airlines adding used A330 and keeping them longer than expected. There is a down in wide body orders, ...

Jump to postThe real question to me is, will this be an annual "corporate tax cut" bonus, or will this be a one-time "See, the corporate tax cuts saved you money!" payment that no one will ever see again. The tax cuts are permanent. A one-time $1,000 payment to employees is nothing. This fee...
Jump to postIt appears increasingly likely that my one and only 747 flight was on a NW 742 from AMS-MSP back in 2002.

My DL flight, DL167 NRT-SIN on Nov 6 was cancelled. Does that not count on the 42 day streak, or did I misread it? If I recall correctly, the last time Delta issued a press release bragging about a streak there was some fine print stating that all the days were not in a row. That must be the case t...
Jump to postThe other one that surprises me is that DL is larger in Montana than AS. Is that correct? Not surprising at all - DL serves every city in MT that AS does plus BTM.
