Quote: Here's a real fact. We are buying 12 A350-1000s to add to the Virgin all wide-body fleet of 39 aircraft. With half ownership that's 25 wide bodies we will never operate.
How are we buying them aircraft?

They are a different flag carrier.

If you constantly are focused on your neighbors' lawns you are never going to take care of your own.

So once again, how does that have anything to do with our operation? The JV is structured so BOTH VA and Delta pilots benefit.

Are you saying that we should take their jobs to enrich ours? Are you saying we should bludgeon our way around the industry so we alone can benefit?

How much additional domestic flying are we going to gain from connecting those passengers once they hit US shores? How many pilot jobs is that?

Please let me know how we should operate our JV's more specifically.
Because to me it sounds like you just want all the flying no matter if it makes money, makes sense or creates real jobs for Delta pilots.
