So military straight to Delta?(I think so as you seem to lack some perspective)
So its back to in your world where only Delta, American, United and maybe Southwest have a right to exist all other trouble maker, low cost, capacity dumping and lets not forget INSOLENT airlines should just go away.
Where do you see a place for the many hundreds of growth narrow bodies, as well as the inevitable LCC widebody order, coming from in terms of capacity to warrent it unless that capacity is gifted to them by existing legacy routes?
We are on a collision course with reality in this industry. There will be winners and losers. They growth powerpoint you probably got in indoc will only materialize if it comes from existing legacy capacity. I hope that doesn't happen. I appreciate your cockeyed optimism (if thats what it is) thinking we can all grow into infinnity and beyond with no consequence, but I disagree with the premise on the grounds of the reality of the marketplace.
Not sure of your background either, and it really doesn't matter, other than to urge you to shy away from ad hominem arguements to bolster your position. I assure you there are plenty of military and civilian pilots who agree and disagree with both of us.
