Agreed. And the fact that we can deadhead from like BOS-LAX in a middle seat in economy when that's longer than some "ocean crossings" is a little strange. It should be based on the length of the flight, not whether the aircraft is flying over solid ground or water.

JMHO, the “ocean crossing” biz class seat dates back as far as I can remember, and I’d bet we got it because an international DH was rare and business class was rarely fully booked. Our domestic DH definitely needs improvement.

If the RCC gets full control of trip construction and we get 6 hours minimum a day I'm all for an early closer..

I'll add Comfort Plus for all domestic DH's.

If the ocean crossers get Delta One, why can't we domestic dogs get C+?

Bastian explains his blueprint. “In the past couple of years, we had a lot of cost inflation … in part because we still needed to catch up on labor from the big cuts following our bankruptcy,” he says. “But now we’re caught up.”

Raising international revenue to 50% of total revenue means a lot more international...flying? Um...unless...well...I mean...
We have a lot of wide-bodies on order to accomplish this, right?

Oh, no? Well that’s the plan so...

Yup, you ain’t part of the plan. So who is, and how does that jive with current scope?

They are coming for it. #standyourground

Interesting that the CanaBus was captioned as a 'regional jet'.

Relevance? Are you saying the international increase to 50% of revenue will come from our increased operations? Total revenue is projected to be $44B. Excluding AMEX and other non-ops revenue ~ $36B. Domestic is about $23.5B, and international is about $12.5B. Assuming domestic revenue remains constant, international revenues would have to increase by $11B. That's a lot of flying, right? Nearly double what we have now. Bring it.
