Re: Virgin Atlantic Upper Class LHR-ORD

Great report, thanks. I've been somewhat hesitant to book on DL codeshares...we'll see. The pictures were excellent.

Re: Where did Northwest get its name?

Some history about NW: A few months before aviator Charles Lindbergh made his record-breaking transatlantic flight, Northwest Airways, Inc. began carrying airmail between the Twin Cities and Chicago. As Northwest Airlines, Inc., the company became a major international carrier before financial troub...

Re: DL S17 International Widebody Utilization

Hi all, I'm not generally one to post about schedules for an operating period that is still half a year away, but I have been watching Delta's summer international schedule take shape over the last few weeks, and for the first time this weekend they seem to fit the fleet constraints (e.g. last week...

Thanks for sharing that Instagram. In another one of his posts, he says it will be out of the paintshop tomorrow or Wednesday. Should be interesting!

Re: Is EK the new Pan AM?

To answer your question, no. I read Skygods: The Fall of Pan Am, and I believe it will give you a great perspective on the subject. To get a bit nostalgic, I flew many PanAm flights when I lived in Miami - they got to know me by name which I don't think happens very often nowadays.

Re: ARIK cancels flights due to fuel shortages

Nigeria is in bad shape, but it is not even close to being a failed state. Not to vehemently disagree, but many textbooks in the Advancement Placement Comparative Politics course refer to it that way. From what you posted above, AP comp. govt. and politics seems to be studying Great Britain as a co...

Re: WestJet Announces Phoenix-Mesa 2 Days After New Leaf

I can't say I'm surprised, other than the fact that it took this long; Gregg Saretsky told me on more than one occasion that he saw opportunity at IWA/AZA back when he was still an EVP over my division at AS. I think he would be surprised that you would bring up his name on this board referencing w...

Re: AA pilots want 2015 contract reopened

AA management should make a list of everything they want (additional regional jets, productivity improvements, more code shares), tie it in with a longer contract, and let's see what happens. AA pilots have no leverage at all.

Re: ARIK cancels flights due to fuel shortages

Nigeria is following the same path as Venezuela. More state control, inept management of the economy, and corruption to the highest degree. Nigeria can most likely be descried as a "failed state'. Nigeria is in bad shape, but it is not even close to being a failed state. Not to vehemently disa...

I wonder how WN is doing on their LAX-PIT route.

And is the DL SNA-LAS really being cut in half or is there some upgauging happening? I'm trying to check on their website and keep getting an error message.

Re: ARIK cancels flights due to fuel shortages

One other point. In many high schools across the country, Advanced Placement Comparative Politics is an elective course. If teachers are doing it correctly, this news will be discussed. FYI, the other five countries that are covered in that course are China, U.K., Russia, Mexico, and Iran. The EU is...

Re: Korean Air expands SFO service in S17

Most likely due to the expanding DL/KE codeshare? In addition to new Atlanta-Incheon service, Delta and Korean Air will expand their codeshare partnership, providing customers with greater access to destinations throughout Asia and the Americas. Korean will place its code on Delta’s Atlanta to Seoul...

Re: Forum Rules

One idea. Stop deleting posts that you disagree with. You seem to have a bias towards certain posters and airlines. You have come to this conclusion based on my moderation of a single thread. Despite your preconceived notions, I do not base my moderation on my own personal thoughts and feelings, an...

Re: Delta's JFK-MAN Downgraded to a 757

Wow quite an upgyuage if it's up to a A333. Obviously Brexit hasn't had an affect. Give up on your one man/women Brexit flag waving at every opportunity. The Virgin/Delta JV summer exchange for operations out of Manchester 2017 predates that facist referendum. Its all part of the larger Delta/Virgi...

With respect I am also a member. I might not have been an active poster but I have been around for many years and the moderation has become very selective recently.

will be interesting to see how much they expand there. I could see some more cities eventually get connected, especially some markets that might not have UA service but want to have a NYC connection, G4 could be beneficial and connect the dots.

Either way, there's going to be a lot of posters who are dead wrong. We'll see.

Re: Delta Aircraft Refurbishment - Part 8

For what its worth, anyone curious about the Comfort Plus on the CRJ200, I managed to snag a picture of one today. It's not a lot, but at least they're making an effort to do something for premium customers on the CR2. http://i.imgur.com/GWrOgcO.jpg Thanks for the picture. I expect to be in one of ...

I'd love to see them paint two planes each with larger and billboard style logos. Let the employees vote which one they like the best.

Re: Phoenix-Mesa Gateway to get flights from Canada

Glad to see this announced. Phoenix-Mesa (AZA) is an excellent airport to travel through. I hope they attract other airlines besides G$. Agreed. There's a lot of potential here, but they really need to catch a few breaks. They need to land some permanent new tenants (more stable than F9 and NK ever...
