Code sharing is hardly a problem. In fact, pull up your Myidtravel, you have a plethora of carries to choose from to get your cabin cleaning on. Ask your boys at delta what they have.

If you see joint ventures, then I would start to worry.

The Airbus order book is full for the narrow body, which will lead spirit into another type. I’ve heard 737 Max, 787 and A330 NEO. Only time will tell. Definitely going to be interesting!
