I really have to wonder why we don't serve India. It's the largest population on the planet, and the United States has the highest Indian poponulation of any country other than India. Seems like something is missing there.
I would argue that top level management is using those incomes to avoid having to compete in the airline business. Leaning on those profits as it were, to avoid working hard to improve profits in the "flying airplanes" side of the business.
I agree they are making soo much money and bonuses off these endeavors to concern theirselves about running our core business ie Delta Air LinesOriginally Posted by iaflyer
Doesn't the company keep touting our excellent domestic network that feeds our hubs to then fly the passengers to international hubs? Why can't we use our profitable domestic network to feed new international flights? Someone asked at a pilot meeting why doesn't Delta serve India (the largest population in the WORLD) as our competitors do. The answer was, "Ed has said he wants us to serve India. We don't have the airplane to do that, we're looking at planes, the A350-1000 would be nice but we don't have them." WTF... did someone not notice that India was a big country?I really have to wonder why we don't serve India.
