They fly to 12 destinations in the US....How many do we fly to in France? Or add KLM, How many destinations do we fly to in France and the Netherlands?

I’ll give you a hint, it’s less than 4, but more than 2.

So even though we don’t fly BOS to FCO right now, but we will next summer, it doesn’t count as new because those cities are already served by us, just using different city pairs?

Seems new to me.

Honestly I'd rather do 10 flights per day to Amsterdam than 8 individual flights to awesome international layover cities. I go to work to make money as efficiently as possible. I'll travel the world on my days off and go to places that I actually want to go. So I take any increase to our flying as a victory, even if the variety decreases!

And no, I don't wear New Balance sneakers. Nor do I have an affinity for Irish bars or Applebee's ;)

Oui, but there is a poster who goes by Septième Voyage, who is bragging about the expanded service to SVO, BUD, OTP, KBP, etc. They wouldn't have them without the Delta JV and those sweet ATL or DTW layovers.

If the route is flown on a newly acquired plane that didn't replace an old plane and the company had to hire additional pilots to properly staff the new route, then it's a pilot group win.

And for the record, I'm not saying that Delta as a company is stagnated, recapturing regional flying has been awesome for both me and the company. But on the WB side it's been nothing but shuffling the deck chairs.
