Delta trying to keep up the scare?
 
If so, that’s bad for the whole industry. Especially after the DOD study.

Delta has won my confidence as a consumer and I will only become a more loyal customer as a result.

I'll become a loyal customer of the first airline that ditches their mask policy.

Nice.

Airlines have for a long time refrained from using safety as a brand-differentiation marketing tool, since by just bringing it to people's minds you tar the whole industry with the same brush.

Maybe SWA and a few others with good balance sheets will run ads about the the big-3 being too broke to afford to do their mx properly.

I like it.

”Would you rather fly on a safe airline that that has almost zero risk of being infected with Covid 19 with the the middle seat occupied, or would you rather fly on an airline that gives you the appearance of safety by keeping the middle seat open and then cutting costs and cutting corners on aircraft maintenance because of the lost revenue?”

Considering the MX fines southwest has had as recently as this year, that wouldn’t be a smart move.

I’m not saying southwest is unsafe, it would just be a baffling marketing campaign that would backfire.

As soon as the pandemic ends, cool beans.

given the only fatal accident of a us based 121 carrier in the last 10 years was due to mechanical failure on a southwest plane, I don’t think that would work in their favor

Sure it would. Like the Delta ad, it doesn’t have to actually make sense to be effective in marketing.


Fly Breeze Airlines
We have NEVER had a passenger fatality
