Delta is publicly trying to keep two club spaces. Would two Skyclubs work? I doubt it, most likely a Delta One club to throw D1 pax on future long haul flights whether DL-metal or JV operated.
2030 is unfortunately a very long time a lot is likely bound to happen. But, I wouldn’t discount Delta’s ability to commit to a long-term plan. For better or worse, Delta will leech onto an airport/city for decades even if it’s to lose money to become #1 (NYC, LAX, BOS) or #2 (SEA). I think AUS will be a 40-40-20 split in share unless someone retreats. The lease agreement was signed months ago and is set in stone. The agreement puts Delta and Southwest at similar market share when B goes live. Very interesting years ahead.
Blah blah blah.... Gate utilization. Look it up.
And to all of the actual SW Bubbas here. It's Austin. I told you so. In your face. 😹
