I wonder if DL thinks of JFK the same way as AA thinks of JFK. DL seems to be much more about a diversified international route network out of JFK than AA, and yet I would say that DL seems to have beat AA in NYC for O&D and that DL has a heavy emphasis on attracting the NYC premium traveler.
If AA's international flying out of JFK hasn't been that much of a useful money-maker for AA, how come DL seems to have found a way to make JFK work for it?
You have a point but AA looks less down the road and sees PHL. I do have to wonder how is it that DL seems to make JFK work but AA can’t or DL’s ability to compete against B6. My hunch is Parker never has and never will slug it out in NYC. Look at what he did pre merger with US. He’s more than satisfied with his fortress hubs.
