I hope the best for Delta. Battling the worthless folks at the DOT won't be easy and a major win unlikely on either HND or LGA/DCA, but sometimes David beats Goliiath:

I still predict that Delta gets shut out by AA/UAL. This ruling won't have anything to do with what is good for the consumer or the economy. It has everything to do with what's good for this crowd in charge right now.

The article where I got the picture said: "the EA-18G kill was courtesy of a well-timed AIM-120 AMRAAM shot....the simulated combat exercise took place at Nellis AFB."
I think they should paint widgets on Lahoods and Schumer's office door and underneath the pilots windows on the JB/SWA fleet.

I saw an article the JAL is being delisted today, is there any chance that we'll look back and say (as some men do): "thank goodness I didn't marry that girl, who'd known she would turn out to..."

...and the "Open Skies" treaty is contingent upon ATI approval for the Japanese carriers. So, lobbying, protests, lawsuits, whatever it takes, having DOT diss DAL once more gives it all a solid green light.
Which is why I think the DOT placates us, but giving us at least a couple, and still sticks it to us more subtly, by giving another to one of their favorite children, and one to Hawaiian.

It's not a typo: it's five percent.

You should see the pic of the Raptor wallpapered with F-18 silhouettes.

No. JAL is going to become a force to be reconned with, as they're doing a top-to-bottom reorganization. They're cleaning up. Thye're getting a few billion, I saw in an article a couple of days ago that they are going to ask their wokforce to take (gasp!) a 5% paycut.

Ah, yes- More cities for us.... but wait? I keep on hearing about reduced RJs and more mainline. Let's read further:

They are actually just adding those city pairs back into the schedule, they had been previously operated on 50's, canceled and are now being added back into the schedule on the type of airframe that had been used previously.

Was JAL's only problem that they had overextended their network, or was it also comparatively high unit costs? If it's not just a network problem, and they are getting 5% in BK, and that indicates the limit of their ability to restructure, then maybe they're not doing it right.
I know I'm thinking like management, which comes with its' own perverted brand of logic, but I don't see how 5% cuts are material. Maybe it's because our cut was one order of magnitude higher.
