...As does your inability to see an offhand comment for what it is...WorldTraveler said:yes, interesting perspectives comes from multiple voices - but when facts show that a commonly held view regarding EWR is inaccurate based on actual data, the facts become very clear and irrefutable.
creating a monopoly lowers fares? Your a union man for sure.swamt said:Actually LD3, Delta was going to fly the same routes as they do from DFW, maybe there was one or two added routes, but most all that they listed were not newly added markets out of the N.Tx. market. I also believe that VX was doing the same routs they already fly out of DFW therefore once again no newly added markets which I believe was one of the items the DOJ wanted to see or was requiring as part of the awarding of the gates. Plain and simple, SWA will bring the most flights, the best competition, lowest fares, best economic results for the city of Dallas as well as the airport and it's concessions within the airport. SWA will also be the best choice to help keep the N. Tx. air fares competitive.
they will?swamt said:WT, Cmon, use some sense. When DL was coming out of BK, where was AA. You just wait and watch where AA ends up with the same amount of time as DL out of BK. AA will get there much faster than DL did.
Uh no. VX got gates on L from Delta when they moved over to T2 during the NW mergerWorldTraveler said:VX got gates... ORD WAS REQUIRED to accommodate VX and B6 who BOTH serve the airport now.
again, tell me one other airport where carriers have been unable to provide service at all.
not to long ago someone said it in the press.Kev3188 said:Let's take a step back here for a sec. DL is well equipped strategically, but how many battle fronts can we realistically expect them to fight on? We have:
NYC
The "battle for Seattle."
The accordant fight with AS
The quest for DAL gates (and possible lawsuit)
and now a possible bid for VX?
Yeah, I know the last one is just a trial balloon being floated on here. Still, it begs the larger question of just how thin DL is willing to spread itself to do all this.
Money pit is right. If it's too cheap to pass up, I can maybe see it, but IMO, that would have to be at pennies on the dollar.
As for the hubs: Not for nothing, but if you look on the ACS (and OCC pages, I think) of our employee website, SEA is now listed with the ones (MSP, DTW, etc.)...
uh what? To where?WorldTraveler said:obviously a VX bid if it happened would be if DL couldn't get what it needs to do otherwise, including DAL gates.
DL issued a statement yesterday saying it believes DL and VX can both achieve their goals at DAL. Perhaps they know something we don't.

DL's NYC buildup is nearly thru as a major initiative - it now moves into tweaking and tearing down Terminal 2 once the next T4 extension is done.
DL has planned to grow LAX regardless of gaining more gates so they don't feel like they need to stop.
Other carriers have been reluctant to call LAX a hub because it is much more local market focused but DL and AA both are growing as aggressively as they can there. I don't think either call LAX a hub - but I agree it is a larger operation than some hubs.
