Please delete if this is addressed elsewhere or if its off topic, but why did DL pull out of DFW? I remember flying TPA-DFW-SEA a few times in the late '90s & early 00's and thinking DL was pretty well entrenched at DFW. What happened?
Jump to postI find this a bit surprising - I’ve flown GA a few times in the past month and have really been impressed with their soft and hard product. IMHO the food quality and service is starting to reach SQ levels. The losses are clearly a problem, but it seems like GA has solid foundation on which to bring ...

Tit for tat on QR starting NCE. Not really - QR has flown to NCE on an "on-again-off-again" basis for years - generally seasonally. In 2012 I flew QR NCE-MXP-DOH-SIN, the NCE-MXP-DOH leg being on a 332. Was the MXP-NCE sector 5th freedom? Good question - my understanding is that QR was li...
