I see the problem. Needs more top rudder, on the bottom side.
Is this the new MD88 avionics, that are supposed to replace the current version, which replaced the previous version on American's jets which replaced the DC-9's? If so, how did you ever find enough control authority to invert the thing ... oh nevermind, the rudder. Another couple of complete cockpit upgrades and we'll probably have the bugs ironed out so you have navigational accuracy better than 3 miles and 2,500 feet. Autoland will probably still take you off in the weeds if a beer truck drives within half a zip code of the localizer antenna.

I see they're adding LAX-CMH. It'll be interesting to see how DL responds to essentially doubling "capacity" on that route. Is there truly double the current demand? I seriously doubt it. Will DL cut and run, gifting yield to a competitor to preserve the almighty yield, or stick it out and fight for marketshare?

LAX-CMH has been happening for awhile, I think its only 3 times a week. Are you guys adding daily?

Hilarious!! True, sadly true as well. Personally, I take the 101 to the 405, go thru the Sepulveda Pass and bypass the airport traffic by taking the back roads by getting off the 405 at La Tijera.
Of course, there are times I take Malibu Canyon to the PCH and come down the 1 to Lincoln.

Ethiad or Qatar? Or both?
Do these routes have to be aprooved by the US as well?
Time to drill baby drill, cut off their ImEx welfare and pull the 5th fleet and make those fake royals defend themselves while cutting off their multi trillion dollar wealth transfer and they won't be able to play Howard Hughes like this anymore.

It would absolutely be, except that our government does not give a damn about our airlines. Every other country on the planet has an airline policy that protects their flag carriers.. but not us....
