Not sure if this is for the fleet thread or not but I see Delta is replacing the A330-900neo with the A350 on the LAX to HND late October onwards Everything ex-LAX, except PPT will be on 350s sometime in Q4. That's also going to allow only one frame to cycle between LAX and ATL. From here on out, L...

Could SWA make a go at FTW? They can avoid DFW and serve the two primary airports that straddle the Metroplex. It feels WN could scale at FTW in a similar manner like DAL. Kinda has a nice ring to it, "Fly to Dallas or Ft. Worth with out the hassle of Dallas/Fort Worth." WN is you rip tha...
Jump to postThat's correct, and the best guess for any new commercial airport in the area is FTW or TKI. One unique thing about the Metroplex's air market is that its two main facilities - DFW and DAL - are relatively close to each other (11 miles). I don’t think the legacies will touch TKI or FTW. Avelo or Br...

With Japan continuing to shrink I think I'd pick the under on capacity. That would make this a competition between 789 and 359.
