Now, about AUS. My point there was you'd be foolish to discount our capability and our capacity. Way more than yours and we'll use it when we need to. Regardless, it's a "WN"- "WN" for the city of AUS. 2 major carriers vying for the air travel business there can only work out well for them. But we didn't need incentives from the city to do what we're going to there, unlike you guys.
You guys don’t have any incentives in ATL?. You pay top price for everything. Same for SLC, MSP. Top dollar for all. Gimme a break dude. Nobody is discounting Delta’s capabilities. Most profitable US airline. But you went hyper there. Delta one lounge? You don’t have one in ATL. None in DET, MSP or SLC. Sky lounge yes but I doubt Delta one lounge in AUS. By the way, I have been in the Delta One lounge in JFK. It was excellent. 2030 is very far away. Most airlines(including yours) can’t see that far ahead. Competitive landscape changes constantly as well as the economy. I admit that there are not many cities left that have a high O&D and have the geography for connections that make sense. AUS fits that very well.
