your joke had me thinking, what’s the most out of the way weird place you’ve ever heard someone commute from? I’m thinking like Madagascar-EWR or like Tierra Del Fuego-SFO. I’m sure there’s been someone like that at some point.
I had a friend that commuted from Jakarta to Chicago... for SkyWest.

Side note: I flew into Ulaanbaatar when I was at Korean Air and I must say it was an interesting place but it sure seemed very uninspiring and not very vibrant. Probably some cool stuff to see though I imagine if you get out and about.

Scott Kirby sure likes to gamble with everyone's career the way he runs that place.

In the early 2000s Leo Mullin had a vision for Delta to "fly from anywhere to everywhere". Bankruptcy soon followed. Now Delta is the most profitable airline and mostly stays on the beaten path. Seems to make sense.

Loved the social media influencer campaign leading up to this "big" announcement. I'm sure Greenland and Mongolia and some cities in Spain and Portugal that probably only Hemmingway have ever been to will excite everyone and will be major revenue generators.
wow what amazing analysis...9/11, spiking fuel prices, failure to cut costs, competition from startup ulccs...hmmm, nowhere in contemporary expert analyses is your supposed cause of the 2005 bk mentioned...they could've used your insightful and creative insight back then, you missed your true career calling, genius

oh and FOUR of the majors were in bk then as well...but that's just coincidence right? not global market factors at all

Careful only been at United for 10 years and in that time we were the laughing stock of the majors in 2013-15 then in 16 Munoz took over and we were great, then we were the laughing stock again during contract negotiations, and now we are back (close) on top again. We can and will be in a rough patch in the future. Throwing stones in this business is never good karma.

I've got furlough letters in my office. I'm well aware of the realities, just making a stupid meme.
