I guarantee you that Delta and American would choose LAX. Southwest might as well.
On the DL network thread, it is said that the only domestic widebodies would be 767 on JFK-LAX and the occasional ATL-LAX A350. That can't be right, unless they plan on chopping half their Hawaii schedule. While I understand that ATL-OGG will remain seasonal, it looks like JFK-HNL, DTW-HNL, and MSP...

Jump to postCan't imagine Delta ordering a Boeing product in the near future after this. Great news for Airbus.

Jump to postIt's been covered before but Boeing does not offer a competing product to the 105 seat C Series. It'll be interesting if Boeing wins this if Delta ever places a Boeing order in the future. They do seem to have a very long memory. Supposedly there's a new narrow body order in the works for this Fall.

No - the RFP is for new gen aircraft (MAX/neo) apparently. I don't think this impacts that at all.
Where do they propose to get the pilots for this expansion when they pay so much lower than standard and pilots that do accept jobs there take the chance on possibly being blackballed by the rest of the industry?
