Because this was United this made the news here in Chicago last night and most people had the same thought middle seats should be vacant until a vaccine. However not everyone agree because if airlines blocked middle seats until there is a vaccine who pays for all those empty seats on every flight? ...
Jump to postReading the article, they cite that WN may have an average of 14 out of service A/C per day, but have spiked as high as 62. That sounds like a deliberate work action to ground aircraft by the mechanics, which would be a breach. And a shitty thing to do, frankly. AMFA has a track record of being mil...
Jump to postYes I think you did. I did not intend to infer that Delta is golden, doesn't make mistake, or is immune from market forces.

I don't want to get too off-topic, but I am still confused with DAL and "fully utilized" gates. If VX only currently has 13 flights through 2 gates (when it should be 10x per gate), why was DL never forced to use VX's gates? I would think DAL would have enforced that since WN is using 180 ...
Jump to postI am not familiar with the crew seating layout for this plane. Were there not at least 2-3 (2 cockpit, 1 in the back) jump seats these UA employees/ crew could have used?
