DL made the choice to make it work, AA didn't seem to like how the numbers stacked up.
Just wondering if you can elaborate on "is probably not enough to make a club financially feasible" and "DL made the choice to make it work".
I mean they are both legacy carriers right? So whats the diff? Also thanks to the link to the old topic I see that UA has a club that has been there since pre-merger. They have to be in, at least, third place and they make it work. Actually looking at top top 10 destinations they can't even be third place.
