You are probably correct as I have no facts to state otherwise. And I completely agree with the fact that all we need is more alley space. A nicer "look" would definitely not hurt though. American's and JetBlue's terminal is quite literally a different world than ours at JFK. I'm sure it will take awhile, but we have to start (I know we have already) taking steps to improve our product out of JFK.

Hate to break it to you but they absolutely will book away from Delta if given the option. Our terminal at JFK is horrendous. It's confusing, old, cramped, and just ugly. Ever been to JetBlue's terminal? How about American's? It is amazing to see the contrast between our terminal and their terminals. Something needs to be done. It's not right to land 20 minutes early then be setting the parking brake at the gate an hour and a half late with people misconnecting because of a cramped alley. Something needs to be done.

With all the talk about additional 747's and A330's does anyone have a time line on their arrival. If the JAL alliance won't begin until 2011 I don't see the need for more wide bodies until 1st quarter 2011 or am I missing something?

No, but they will go to JetBlue because it is faster to check in, get through security, and find your gate in their new terminal. If Delta wasn't seeing people flee to other carriers because of the terminal issue, they wouldn't be spending alot of cash to fix the problem. It is obviously a big black eye for Delta and people will go next door to something nicer if the prices are the same.

That said, they would be aircraft that are already produced or in service somewhere else. (See I am being non-committal
) In reality no one really knows yet.
