Things that don't actually happen...

I bet if they run Aer Lingus out they will operate successfully for years...No just kidding, they will immediately drop it and force people over JFK at 2x the fare
@xJonNYC
They chose Scott Laurence (network strategy) over Marty St George (product) and then chose Joanna Geraghty (operations) over Laurence ...I'd say the operation got worse not better under her and the network strategy is a smoking wreck. My 2 cents.
@avgeekjake
The deadline is only about a week away. Also notable, AS-HA filed to merge route authorities before approval like B6-NK did. I don’t think that’s common. Perhaps a legal maneuver to stretch things out.
@kpottermn
In the comments of my post, Delta people are saying that the outage drained their crew reserves and then the short-lived non-rev ban made it much worse. Apparently they are now just out of crew to patch things up.
@WandrMe
Idk. This time they need to mollify the State of Hawaii to avoid pushback, with Virgin the issue was only pesky customers. In both cases once the deal is approved it will shortly be announced it’s gone. I think only some onboard product differences last.

@AveloAir
Actually we found the Avelo results shortly after that. They are much better, but still losing. (airline backwards) or

Can you transport opened alcohol? If not that's even better. Open the bottle, take a shot, confiscate the rest as opened! Baggage handler or TSA I wonder?... SOLUTION, LOL: There was a case like this one at Denver too ~2010.
@xJonNYC
What happens with Alaska if this is a long term grounding, and what happens with the gates in Seattle they have desperately filled to block Delta. Will they lose gates by failing minimum use? If so, that's a huge destabilizing outcome for Alaska.
@xJonNYC
As we have reported their results in AUS are bad so no doubt they will be shrinking, BUT why would the scope clause impact a specific station? Isn't the scope clause based on the whole network?

@FlyFrontier
I don't think Frontier does multi leg with the same flight number much if at all. Might be technical issue. Somebody needs to add LAX-SJU.
@xJonNYC
I unlocked this one just for you. This is how bad Hawaii is for Southwest. HNL is virtually their worst station, although L48-Hawaii has improved. Intra is a millstone...or tombstone.

@USDOT
@JetBlue
@KLM
JetBlue is last in and KLM is also getting screwed by this BS NIMBY slot cut. BUT because of the DL/KLM JV the DOT can’t allow this to happen to JetBlue. My 2 cents.
@simple_flying
Huh, "No other MAX9s share the same configuration"? The door plug is the same on United and other airlines. Why would differences in other areas of the aircraft be relevant?
@tphilip631
@Schiphol
@USDOT
@JetBlue
@KLM
Because of the JV I agree, but absent that I would feel they were too late to the party. The slot cut shouldn’t be happening. KLM has tried over and over to block it. I speculated SAS is being brought in because of the AMS mess.
DOJ Reportedly Plans to Block Alaska Airlines - Hawaiian Airlines Merger on Anti-Competitive Grounds.
We agree it is anti-competitive, but still are surprised.

@tedreednc
I saw Rakesh Gangwal speak about it. He wanted a change after a USA Today headline like "US Air Crashes Hit High" which was about the industry but could be read as only USAir. It was the year after he joined the company.

Way better than Honey Baked Ham Gift Cards. Last year they told me if I used $100 HBH GC that I bought for $80 discounted at Costco, I could only spend $80 with it. What a scam.
