Still no announcement of the timeline for adding wifi to the regional jets that do not have wifi. IIRC, wifi is available on all Delta-branded 2-class RJs.
And then there's the oft-mentioned AA meal degradation/US meal improvements since September 1. Not an encouraging sign.
What I'm seeing is that America West is now the biggest airline on the planet (doing business as American Airlines).
No features of an integrated FF plan, either, or a definite timeline for roll-out. DL/NW had mileage transfers into and redemptions from the 'other' plan within six months of merger date, and everyone rolled into one plan in less than a year.
Sure, there's lot to do, but flyers have been buying tickets into 2015 for months now.
