Yeah, I you can buy upto 2 or 4 daily lift tix at a discounted rate at any of the vail resorts with a valid airline ID....Vail, Breck, A-Basin, Keystone, and BC.

You can't buy multi-day tickets at the discount though. Have fun!

I think LCC uses Rolls Trent on their A330-200, not sure about the -300. Totally different engine than DL A330s. Not sure that would make sense.

That's a first!

The swap makes sense if they're marketing themselves to AMR, why add more Airbus products?

Look no further than the 757/767 fleet. There are multiple engine configurations on our jets. Since Delta Tech Ops is being one of the major engine MRO shops, I am sure they could overcome that.

In reality I am just reposting a rumor that has been out there for a few months.
