Pretty cool adding the -1000 to the fleet. Hope to see one out at MSP in the coming years.

It's similar to the plug on the -900ER, but apparently not completely-exactly identical.

Jump to postI find it very odd that airlines which generally gave lower CASK / CASM are struggling while companies with a higher CASK / CASM are making money. Typically when times are tough such as rising interest rates, people choose cheaper ways of doing something - eg eating at cheaper restaurants instead o...
Jump to postI have a theory here, which might be completely wrong, but here it is. I really think a lot of this simply comes down to the fact that passengers have become a lot more aware of the game these ULCCs play by charging for every little thing. Let's be honest here, this business model relies on unsuspe...
Jump to postMy exact thoughts as well. Actually. I just finished a chat with American Express and they offered me 50,000 skymiles If I spend $3000 in 3 months. But I would have to keep my card open for 12 more months. Not sure if it is worth it. Really don't want to renew but 50,000 miles is pretty decent. Ill...
Jump to postI've been Platinum for years and are among those who're are angry with the changes. As others have said, the AMEX Reserve won't be renewed as the $550 membership fee isn't worth it with the SkyClub limits, and while I'll continue to fly DL if I find a better price and schedule I won't hesitate givi...
Jump to postHeh as i dial back business travel and increase personal travel. The perks are the least of my concerns with Delta. Their pricing is not competitive on a lot of routes out of MSP.
Jump to postThat is a really neat story!

Jump to postSeems like the A220-100 would be a good fit from a capacity and efficiency perspective. But it sounds like the fast turn around in Hawaii weather would be an issue with the engines. So seems used A319 or A320 with some modified schedule may be be the next best option.

to add.
I am 99.9% sure they were RB211 powered and Northwest dumped them quickly after the merger with Republic
Republic actually had a few 757s when NW merged with them. I assume those birds have since been retired as they would be pushing 40 years in service. But were they still in service when Delta and NW merged?
Jump to postI don't see Delta ordering a 787. If they are staying in that size then would expect A330\350 mix. I am curious if they will jump onboard the A350-1000.
Jump to postPositioning for expansion within China and India? Get the order on the books, 10-15 years it shows up and lease or sell to an airline in these growing markets?
Jump to postIt seems to me the A320 taking off instead of waiting is more efficient than having both sitting there.
