My understanding is that DL's planes will have the psychical capability and will do some longer missions. However the plan is for the fleet average stage length to be under 1,000mi. CVG-West Coast...

There are E+ seats that have pitch like that (the 2-class 763 comes to mind). Obviously not all, but some do. It's called advertising.

Back to this post. You've either been incredibly fortunate in those 20+ years flying, or are not telling the whole truth of not seeing any carrier besides the modern UA not make that effort. In my...

It will always be the LA Coliseum to me, but it's still pretty cool to see UA add naming rights to such a historic venue.

You can't have a good A:0 without first having a good D:0 (unless you believe in excessive, unrealistic block times that wastes time, hides a poor operation, and increases costs). Have to put the...

I'm surprised it took you by surpise. I would expect gate holds the least on DL. DL has been stringent about D:0 for a long time, longer than I've known it to be a focus at UA, and pressure agents to...

Of course not, holding everything else constant obviously. I don't know what you're even trying to prove with YE load factors.

You have that backwards. It's the vast majority of passengers that are benefited by a focus on D:0. It's a select few that may end up drawing the short end of the stick. Overall it's highly...

I'm curious. From a passenger perspective, would you consider the 199-seat DL 757 "junky"? Ignore the AVOD angle for a second. Judge it based on layout, space, and comfort.

I would say that flying someone without a valid ticket qualifies. I can't imagine the feds being too happy about that either.

For kicks let's say it a different way isolated on the revenue side of the equation. For the average UA flyer at the average UA stage length (1,460 mi), it means UA flyers paid $221.92 instead of...

Good news. I hope they stick to it. An average of 5% per year would put them over 300 billlion ASMs in 2020 and likely make them the largest carrier by that metric unless DL or AA change their...
