I welcome any effort to bring any production in-house, in particular flying!

Another section one goal. Delta pilots will burn the delta gas and no others unless they already burn delta gas or they are Alaska or RaH but only in those planes used by Delta passengers etc etc etc

Or

Why didn't Conoco Phillips start an airline?

But of course, this will work. Trust them.

*Operated by: Monroe Energy.

No, they don't. Only the US Government uses more gas than Delta

Delta uses more gas than the USAF. Second only to the US government in its entirety.

Really? I though it was the USAF. I just remember reading it about a year ago. Could be wrong. I know that our consumption equals countries like Spain.

Hey, watch your mouth. I might resemble that remark.

It's the entirety of the US DoD that equals countries like spain and consumes more than Delta.

(but DoD is NOT including all those EPA/DOT/gubbamint employees driving around in those ford escapes)

United (post merger) consumes more than Delta though.
