I'm looking for more sources, another thread just started...
JAL dumps alliance with American Airlines in favor of Delta, SkyTeam (Mainichi Japan) January 28, 2010 Japan Airlines (JAL) decided Wednesday to dump its partnership with American Airlines and its Oneworld alliance in favor of Delta and the SkyTeam group of carriers. American together with a private equity firm had offered to invest $1.4 billion in JAL and strengthen cooperation between the two airlines, but JAL judged an alliance with Delta -- the world's largest airline -- would produce greater benefits. The partnership with Delta will be officially announced by new JAL Chairman Kazuo Inamori on Monday. To solidify the new alliance, JAL intends to apply to the Japanese and U.S. governments for antitrust immunity. The airline is also examining strengthening its international network with new routes from Narita International Airport to Detroit -- the hub for Northwest Airlines, acquired by Delta last year -- and from Haneda Airport to Amsterdam's Schiphol, SkyTeam partner KLM's home airport. Delta and JAL cover many of the same routes, allowing the two airlines to better efficiency through schedule and fare collaboration. According to estimates by the state-backed Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp. of Japan (ETIC) -- overseeing JAL's restructuring process -- if JAL obtains antitrust immunity, the benefits of the Delta partnership could rise to some 17.2 billion yen. Even if the JAL-Delta deal does not receive immunity, the new partnership will result in benefits of around 9.2 billion yen -- still a significant jump from the 5.4 billion yen realized through the alliance with American. Delta had previously offered a total $1.02 billion in financial support to JAL, including $500 million in new investment. As the leader in rebuilding the airline, however, ETIC apparently inclined to the belief that foreign financing was unnecessary for recovery, and elected to restrict any involvement with Delta to business collaboration. |

Carl,
If you feel that the quote I included in my post from "FlyingViking" wasn't a personal attack, then I only have two words for you. SEA --- NILE. <intentionally spelled that way as to not offend the almighty 747 Captain who feels that there is room for a "lack of integrity" amongst our profession in negotiations with management. FIRE AWAY. I'm sure I've seen worse in my 19 years of military service. Vikings Fan That post is just too gay to be upset about... I know Carl, I feel sorry for them too... |

You are so right, help me out here..... Or should we just let stupid post here and act like we don't see it?:D |
FlyingViking,
Not going to stoop to your level of insults. Like I mentioned before, I was only offering "constructive criticism" towards your posts, as you were in turn, offering "criticisms" to the opinion that Kingbird brought to this forum. I am not going to get in a pi$$ing match with you, that would jeopardize the continuance of this forum thread. Good day, Vikings Fan |

No help from here. Stupid has been duly ignored or countered without the idiocy. Chill. |
