Looks like New Pacific is jumping in on the charter opportunities with sports teams. I know this airline gets alot of hate, but I am hopeful they pull through. I would really like to see the new seating configuration for their 757. If anything, this will be a healthy source of cash for them. If the...
Jump to postDL clearly has no interest in restarting PDX-Asia service. They claim that PDX-ICN plans are 'indefinity suspended', but we all know there's no way they'll actually start it without $$$ millions in incentive money.

Jump to postExcellent post and you make several valid points. I was just talking to someone this morning about how much international air service Seattle has across the Pacific. It’s A LOT.

Jump to postWhich is what DL does when any new route comes from any of their hubs, a good example of DL being defensive is when a new TATL opens routes DL sneaks in (defensively) and tries to move them out.

There is a wingspan restriction on TWY C. If I recall, it's only for the 747-8 thought.

I’ve always been curious about Delta in the PNW and the small amount of service they have from secondary cities.
