As a new guy, your threat view is different from mine and mine is different from Timbo's. I am really, really concerned about a top end scope cave. China Eastern is going to get written in somehow. Recall we recently and dramatically gave up significant NRT flying protections for a (IMO) lesser pacific flying floor. Seattle is capacity maxed for now. Everyone on the planet but us can figure out how to make money with 777s. Big airplanes vacume everyone up to a higher paying seat.
I am in the camp that believes a TA is shortly forthcoming. I expect it to be meh...just been at the dance long enough...I'm not a marine, the fat chick is not a win.
My brother, I must disagree with you on this. Why? Richard
is making a TON of money with 777s, 380s, 787s via our JVs, investments and code-shares.

50% profit,as they say, for this ticket broker company called Delta Air Lines.
