This is pretty much meaningless right now. We are currently larger with more routes to "share". No surprises there. Keep your eye on the ball over the next 24 months to see what happens next...who's growing and who's shrinking.

I was very disappointed to see Code-share flights appear before DAL mainline flights on delta.com. I recently tried again and the first flights were all mainline flights. Could this possibly mean something?? Lets hope its a trend.

Good! Now lets just buy up VX, and all will be good

I'll even buy the red stapler from Office Max for myself, and pay for the staples. Fine by me!

Jack,

Out of pure curiosity.....how would Virgin Atlantic operate JFK to ATL, BNA, CAE, BOS, (insert US city here)?

Now if you're suggesting they'll take all of our transatlantic routes....well you and I should just agree to disagree on that.

Let's hope. I keep having to park at the B gate in SEA, so we have obviously increased flying there. I also operate a LAX-SEA next month. I like what I'm seeing.

I was just there yesterday and the day before. It was nice not to have to take the train from the S gates.

Right? It is such a short trip to B7 as opposed to S4.
