Jump to postI wouldn't be surprised if it's Atlanta. The tech scene is exploding, and the area is heading toward 7 million MSA.
Jump to postThanks for posting the sunshineskies link. It brings back so many memories. Those L1011's and 727 were Delta and Eastern workhorses back in the day. Why is that terminal not in some alphabetical succession? Why “T”? Thanks you. It's an expansion of the existing concourse T, which is attached to the ...
Jump to postDelta would have mentioned interest in the Q3 meeting.
Jump to postNo mention of 350-1000, I guess we can disregard that rumor now.

Jump to postI wonder if Delta will bring Atlanta to Dubai back. This would be a great airplane for that route.
Jump to postGlad the Atlanta route is resuming. Just flew Fronter's Atlanta to Denver route, and it was packed. This is a great alternative.

Here are the Q1 2022 PDEW's of the top contiguous U.S. markets traveled to from ATL that don't currently have WN nonstop service out of ATL: ATL-LAX/BUR/LGB/ONT/SNA - 1466 (WN has Sunday-only ATL-LAX nonstop service from 9/4/2022 through 10/30/2022) ATL-BOS/MHT/PVD - 817 (WN/FL previously operated ...
Jump to postDEN, PHX, LAS, MDW, DAL, and BWI, for all intents and purposes, are hubs. You could probably throw BNA, HOU, ATL, and OAK in there too.. WN is not that big in Atlanta and only serves a handful of cities that are not hubs or focus cities where they have considerable market share. They really didn’t ...

Jump to postI’m currently in Atlanta and around 3:37 EST a Delta 757 had a landing that appears to have missed the runway, but eventually got back on. It was a small fume of dirt that went in the air. The emergency vehicles are looking at the plane now. A couple of landing diverted on the runway the plane is si...

Jump to postAA @ DFW has more departures but runs lower avg gauge than DL @ ATL, and so is a smaller op overall. DL ATL gauge 160 seats. AA DFW 134 seats, so DL is larger with 141K on the OP's date vs. 134K at DFW. And, if you're wondering about DL's dominance in the Southeast, CLT avg gauge is 116 for a total...

Thank me later
That was a tough time for aviation because the Eastern Airlines shutdown was around the same time. Delta benefited greatly by gaining access to European routes from JFK.
Jump to postGlad it was a misfire, but it should be a huge wake up call in case it was an active shooter, any airport in America is an easy target. I wonder what kind of protocols they have in place.
Jump to postSeems like they are being proactive before the DOJ ask for slots.
Jump to postWow, I wish they would just join Delta's Skyteam, that would be quite a team.

Again... it's the same response every ...

I was dragged for saying this previously but I'll say it again. ULCC's attract a class of traveler that really should not be travelling. If there is any sort of hiccup or unexpected expense, they do not have the financial resources to handle it and they often lash out violently. Airports with a hea...

Jump to postCan someone explain why the braking seems so hard on Southwest''s 737-700? Is it typical for that type of aircraft. I've flown Southwest out of Myrtle Beach twice recently.

Jump to postKudos to the passengers and crew that prevented his entrance.
Jump to postAs a Delta fan, I was highly impressed with the amount of legroom American Airlines provided on my all flights. My Memorial Day 7:05 am SFO flight to CLT was packed, and the CLT hub is bustling at the seams.
Jump to postSoutheast hub buildup my prediction, people are flocking to the South from North Carolina to Florida.

Wow, I bet American wish they would have kept Nashville as a hub, but it decided to go with Charlotte. I think both could have worked as hubs like Delta’s Detroit and Minneapolis hubs.

Jump to postDelta is clearly laying low and taking advantage of not having to negotiate pilot's contracts, and pending attempts to unionize Flight Attendants. I think Delta was smart to focus on hard assets like the LAX construction, and other capital projects upgrades. With the stock market breaking all-time r...

Jump to postGeez, Louise. Thank God we are done with 2020. I hope airlines can turn it around starting with Spring travel, it inevitably looks as if it will be another merger soon.
Jump to postI flew from Myrtle Beach to Denver. My flight changed 2 times. I call them and that moved my flight up one day. I’m glad I call or a whole day in Denver would have been lost on Thanksgiving. My Delta phone agent seem stress out, but did change my ticket out.

This is a rather odd ball route for AS to begin flying. Possibly a way to Keep the Boeing traffic moving between SC and WA?
I suspect that is a SEA-ATL-CHS-SEA routing.
I thought RA is a Delta board member; furthermore some I'm sure he is under some kind of contract not to take a job as the CEO of another airline to protect Delta's internal management secrets.
