I have seen many news articles about SK nothing from AA. which makes sense to me. SK has been throwing money around like a drunken sailor for the better part of five years and put everything on high end international travel. In the meantime AA has been focused on domestic and paying down debt. Kirby's problem is the new DHS guy wants to stop providing CBP services to Airports in Sanctuary Cities. Which puts UA in a Very Bad position. will it happen ? who knows ,but SK had a meeting with DJT. I doubt it was to hear this pitch more likely it was to understand what the fallout would look like and how to mitigate it. From the news stories It sounds to me like SK is running out of juice fast.

I think SK met with Trump to gain an ORD advantage since the FAA has stated there are to many scheduled summer departures.

Random question I’m not sure what thread to put this in-

I’ve noticed over the past few years, the majority of pilots wear their blazer year round. Is this a cultural thing? I do think the blazer looks more professional, but not always practical or comfortable in the summer.

WB fleet is year round jacket.

We’re painting the bellies of all the 319s/320s silver in an attempt to hide the speed tape.

Yeah, I know that.. last summer in DFW 90% of the pilots were walking around with the blazer on. We don’t have that many WBs ;)

Yup, it’s trading cards. You can see them if you pause it

I wonder if American is going to put a QR code on the back of them to tell passengers why we pilots are overpaid and need longer duty days.

Lots of pilots with management aspirations there. They want to be seen as "team players" and don't want to risk being seen by someone important without their little blazer.
