  Doesn't the dog owe you 5 dollars for each bet?   (Apparently, Richard doesn't trust him with much information or much money.)

A deal with AA for T5 and other properties was contingent on LAWA moving Delta.   A deal with AA should follow shortly. 

      ... Are you saying that Delta is going to run 11.25 turns per gate?  (180 flights across 16 gates)  You are as duplicitous as WT.       ... Seriously, how low on the org chart are you?  Does anyone tell you anything of strategic importance?   IORFA has more inside information about AA than...

  The item (LAWA's deal for T5) is on the agenda for the next board meeting (closed session). 

  (1) The "hangar" deal.     (2) There are a number of options.  I don't think AA has made up its mind.  I keep asking the same questions.  AA wants to draw down the Eagle's nest and so does LAWA.  As you indicated, this is much more of a strategic question for AA.  For LAWA, it's a development...

  Delta would have been forced to move eventually.  Long term, LAWA wants to tear down T6 and resite T5 between T4 and T7.   Delta had two choices:  Move now and get something from LAWA in return.  Or, wait to move and have LAWA execute the move unilaterally.  (LAWA holds the master lease to T5...

  The T4 Reconfiguration is a done deal.  Other airline administrators have been informed of the project.  They've been told that the construction will start next year.   The cost of emplanement at T2 is lower than that at TBIT.  For some time to come, that would seem to favor the ongoing use of...

  Some more details:     The 2 new gates at T4 and the preferential use of gate 151 are the result of a deal for AA's Master Lease to T4.  As part of this deal, LAWA will fully cover the costs of the reconfiguration, about $200 million.   There is no deal yet for AA's hangar.     The rights to...

  The TBIT gate (151) when the T4 connector opens.  (It is closed now in part because of the construction.) The reconfiguration of T4 begins next year.  Gate 41 (widebody international) remains as is.     There is an agreement in principle. Delta to T3/T2.  (T3 rebuild and T3 connector) AA and...

  (Sigh)   There's that air of superiority again.  If only there was something to justify it... You know what I mean.

  I've got another one.  It's airport-related too.   Remember when WT told us that Delta has first call on any gates that become available at JFK T4.  That's wrong too.   (According to the prospectus for the bond issue, there is no such condition in the contract between Delta and JFKIAT.  In...

  As I told you, I could care less about what Delta is doing at Seattle.   I do care about what happens at LAX which is why I remember a few things you have told us over the years which are pertinent to this topic:   Remember how you told us that Delta had first call on gates at T6 because Delta...

  On the contrary, things are turning out just as some of us predicted.  (In any case, it is not like I came over here to rant because I got banned from airliners for making a nuisance of myself.  What lunatic would do that?)   First of all, AA doesn't need anyone to move to execute on its plan...

  When we discussed the move on airliners, the fanboys said the same things.  Wha wha wha.  Delta doesn't have to move.  T5 belongs to Delta.  (Actually, it doesn't).  AA doesn't need more gates.  (Apparently, it does.)  Wha wha wha...   In any case, did you read the first post?  AA is telling...

  Here is the rest of the story.   As of the first quarter of this year, Delta was prepared to proceed with the second phase of the T5 improvements until LAWA pulled the plug on that phase pending a deal.  The Board Report I mentioned above confirms this.  The second phase of T5 improvements...
