Laugh all you want, but not because they don’t have TVs or mgmt is floundering around.

Laugh because Philly is too close to NYC for them both to operate at full potential and because they merged last and there were no other options.

Mostly non competitive pre existing infrastructure is at play.

Surely you read about Delta lobbying congress for “long haul” slots at DCA? Why do they need to do that? Their ingenious TV idea makes them all their money.
NYC doesn’t work for AA because of too few slots, not proximity to PHL
