It’s in ATL right now, so hopefully it’s finally getting the new IFE certified.

If they choose to make AR their plaything then it might make getting JV problematic for DL and LAN. This. I think the DL/LATAM JV will take longer than two years to be approved for precisely this reason. If it has to be approved by all the Latin American countries before it can be submitted to the ...
Jump to postI think everyone needs to take a moment and realize that its not my penchant for everything DL. I really have nothing against AA.

Jump to postbasically, I believe DL is in the drivers seat. They and LATAM will soon begin to execute their planned partnership. I think it will catch Anet and more importantly, AA off guard. No one at ANET and AA knows exactly what is about to unfold. But DL is not gonna hold back. They spent a lot of money to...
Jump to postI noticed this too a few weeks ago. I’m sure this is info that not many were aware of on here; there are still comments about “DL and their old planes.” Jeremy just so happens that DL's old planes are a lot more reliable than newer planes flown by the direct competition. Its not a fanboy statement,...
Jump to postIts one thing for AA to ad routes, its another thing to force costumers to endure a 3 day delay. It would really behoove AA to treat its Latin American fliers better than this. I hear that AA is even denying reimbursement to those that, after the 2nd day, purchased a return ticket home on their own ...
Jump to postDude, give it up. AA will always be number 1 to S.America no matter how many airlines your precious DL partners with. And DL will NEVER have the amount of metal to S. America that AA has. No wonder DL pilots get upset regarding codeshare flights. DL loves to send their passengers to airlines that a...
Jump to post2. Ensure JetBlue cannot get a large market share when they launch London-Boston flights in Summer 2021 AA is irrelevant in Boston. This isn't their strategy. they have top frequency to major business markets, and partners that serve LHR, MAD, NRT, and HKG better than anyone else. not exactly what ...
Jump to postIt’s called panic. They are being reactive, not proactive. I doubt it is a knee jerk. They knew for a time the LATAM deal would not move ahead. Route planning isn't done at the snap of a finger. Announcing flights 15 months or more out with a nebulous start state ("winter 2020") sounds li...
Jump to postAA is incredibly weak right now with a poor product and doesn’t make money flying passengers. Delta sees these vulnerability. AA is not a top performer, that's true, but you're incredibly misinformed with an unintelligent statement saying they don't make money flying passengers. They certainly do a...
Jump to postI have not had a chance to read through everything, but does this mean we can expect to see Delta livery 787s? Nope, the 787 will stay at LATAM in their livery. The only planes transferred are 4 A350's that are still on order. Delta bought hasn't bought the whole company just a stake. actually DL g...

American Airlines will be just fine in South America. those airlines and networks are from a different era, from decades ago, from strategies that no longer work AA has no more feed from S...
Jump to postHas anybody looked at the Alaska Air angle of this?
Alaska and LATAM have been partners for years. Obviously nothing has been announced yet but who agrees (or disagrees) that DL will force LATAM to cut ties with Alaska?
flymco753 wrote:If anything this will further validate MCO as a connecting point to South America for Delta. Expanding at MIA is pure speculation?
AA has themselves. they were fine before they had LAN and were big in Brazil before TAM. the reason for so many of the cuts were because of the unstable economies in south america, something delta should be mindful of. AA has MIA, DFW, and LAX which are all strong to south america regardless of the...
Jump to postOMG this is truly a surprise. OW have had South America firmly in its grip with LATAM and AA. AA pulled CZ away from SkyTeam/Delta, so this is revenge. Not quite revenge.

Jump to postThey start taking deliveries as soon as next year. No way its even close to tying into the retirement of the 777's. I thought only 4 of these 350s were coming next year. From the Delta Newsroom Delta will acquire four A350 aircraft from LATAM and has agreed to assume LATAM’s commitment to purchase ...
Jump to postNot immediately. But with the 359s that were already ordered and deferred, it provides a road map to retire the 777s in 5-7 years, or by 2025, which is what the agreement says for the other 10 from LATAM. The 747s were retired about that long after their interior mods weren't they? They start takin...
