Jump to postThe name is just meh to me. If I was on the phone and told someone to book a flight on this airline, they would have a heck of a time trying to find it online. Most would assume it's Air Bon if that makes sense. Not trashing the airline, but the name just doesn't fit for a US Airline IMO. Maybe they...
Jump to postThere's a difference between a depressed person who ends his life and a mass murderer. Not really.

Jump to postI'm still just so confused. Spirit was kind of the ULCC darling if that is what you want to call it. Are they in financial trouble? Why the sudden interest in buying them?
Can Spirit still be successful on it's own?
Ultimately not yet clear it basically turns all of delta's flying outside the US into a global account which has to be balanced vs partner flights to the US, probably not a lot except for possibly a few more interesting 763 routes, and a set definition so less fighting about this probably When you ...
Jump to postWas this what the Delta pilots were picketing about? I am so out of the loop on this. What does this ultimately mean in terms of flying? Will this mean more widebody aircraft orders perhaps? Can someone explain this in dummy terms? LOL!! Ultimately not yet clear it basically turns all of delta's fl...

Gold 100k here too. And I must say, it's definitely changed alot and not for the better. The ticket and gate agents have definitely changed.
The video was nice, but it's hard to guess he is trying to blame the pilots. He is however blaming the shortage.
Hearing through an internal event in LAX that DL will launch LAX-PPT this winter as well as an MCO-EU destination, likely AMS. Equipment also unknown, but I'd assume 763 PPT? Yes please! I am assuming there is more than enough people to fill that route? I wonder how Air Tahiti feels about this if i...

Jump to postThis is amazing, and gave me chills. Has anyone heard any updates on the condition of the pilot? It says he was incoherent, which might mean he was still conscious? Maybe a stroke? I have been trying to Google info, but unable to find anything.

Jump to postI will put my faith in those making the decisions to cut service in certain markets. They obviously know more than we do on here, and there has to be a reason. I do not see this as anything more than a need to reduce for now, till they can offer better performance. If Alaska had just continued down ...

Jump to postThe fact is, that plane literally could have crashed into someone. I know it crashed in a very remote area, but seriously a stupidly dangerous stunt. Not to mention, that stunt could have caused a major fire. That area is ripe for a massive wildfire. I do think the FAA needs to get very serious on t...

Jump to postWhat happened to Ohana? I know they had the ATR's, but if I remember correctly, they shut it down last year. Any particular reason? I doubt Hawaiian will try that again IMO.
