So look, none of us in this industry truly know anything until it happens and you can’t rule anything out....but we just installed another brand new a 320 sim, I believe we have 6 or 7 we wouldn’t keep adding stuff like this if we didn’t have a long term commitment to the plane. Lots of other stuff can happen, delivery slots can be swapped, options can be traded, but for delta to just give 100 planes and 100 options to a competitor is just likely not going to happen.

New hotel policy sucks.
The new hotel policy under the new contract (and post PBS) has created far more short stay hotels as the company builds shorter layovers into the pairings.
Part of the savings the company has realized with the short stay hotels is the reduced need for private transportation since short stay hotels usually provide van service.
We’re also seeing far more short stay hotels which are not full service, meaning to hotel restaurant/bar and fake food for breakfast (powdered eggs, meat-like bacon).
Just because it’s s short stay the hotel quality should not be reduced. BOS short sucks. PIT short sucks. DFW short sucks. CMH short sucks.
All Hotels weather long or short should be full service and at least a Crowne Plaza/Marriott/Hilton/Sheraton quality.

Almost half way into the month and still no aircraft order announcement as promised in investors call. Can’t say that I’m surprised. I do wonder how investors feel though....being lead on and on about a new order and growing the airline.
