But having it be DL metal makes it interesting because I might be able to fly RDU-LHR/overnight/LHR-AMS-continent as a single fare with a 23:59 max layover at LHR. That would give me a full day in LHR with the protection of a single ticket.
100% agree as another ex-RDU.
Also to the above BA stats -- revenue by no means equals profit just to be clear.
The article and numbers say nothing about whether that $1.2B actually generates a profit and if so how much
