Delta is cashflow positive with middle seats blocked. That's a pretty incredible accomplishment in the current environment. Delta is beating AA while handicapped, will be interesting to see how our cashflow numbers compare against UAL

Our management is doing this to differentiate us from our competition so I wouldn't call it a handicap - why would we intentionally handicap ourselves? Perhaps look at it as a long term investment in our brand. Originally it was put in place when flights were mostly empty and it may cost some now, but hopefully when the world stops being crazy it will pay benefits.
