Delta up 59%
Even United is up 77%

There is nobody to blame but themselves. They have instituted every plan they desired. Every policy. Every trick or gimmick. They’ve bought billions back of stock and the price still lags competitors badly. They close the door on customers 10 prior yet our metrics do not lead the industry. They give lip service to “culture”. They overbook flights and hubs, they cancel flights, they communicate poorly to customers. They’ve got the operation that they planned for and implemented. 100% it’s their operation. It’s what they wanted.
