Never quoted myself before. After further inspection, SWA uses Row 44, a satellite based company and their pricing is CHEAPER than GoGo. Ugh!!!

ftb,

The HBO John Adams movie was a mini-series, so it will take some time to get through. It's well worth it though. They do a great scene at the end that incorporates the letters he and Jefferson passed between each other. They were both great writers/communicators.

It's seems as though I have run into another history geek. I'll have to check those places out. I can't wait to get a good, long layover in CHS, so I can visit some Civil War history.

And SWA's price continues to rise, while their on time continues to decrease. They were 3rd behind UAL & F9 in On time Stats in DEN.

Regardless, DAL's performance continues to STINK and we have to fix it.

We can't fix it. Most of our flights are flown by other pilot groups. ;)

Aircell, the provider of Gogo In-Flight Internet service on Delta aircraft, announced Wednesday that it is unveiling an expanded technology roadmap for the delivery of its Gogo service, including the eventual addition of satellite technology.

“Our customers already enjoy access to 555 Wi-Fi equipped aircraft on our domestic mainline fleet and will soon enjoy access to an additional 223 Wi-Fi equipped Delta Connection jets by the end of 2011,” Delta said in a statement. “With more than 2,200 flights daily, Delta operates the largest fleet of Wi-Fi enabled aircraft in the world. We are pleased that the in-flight Wi-Fi industry is moving in a direction that takes the needs of global airlines into consideration. We look forward to reviewing new connectivity options for our customers.”

In addition to Aircell’s existing Air-to-Ground (ATG) technology, the company announced it will enable connectivity via a next generation version of ATG called “ATG-4.” ATG-4 will enhance the existing ATG network and improve per aircraft capacity by approximately four times its current performance, and is scheduled for commercial delivery beginning in the first half of next year.

Aircell also announced it will offer “Ka-band” satellite technology, which will provide additional capacity to supplement what is available through ATG, ATG-4 and current generation satellite technology. The new technology will enable Gogo service beyond the continental U.S. by 2015, and will be available in the continental U.S. in 2013.

“Aircraft with missions beyond [the continental United States] will benefit from the geographic flexibility a satellite solution provides,” Aircell said in a release.
