By the way, How are things at UA going? Gonna be out of BK soon?

I guess I just don't understand why an employee of one airline (UA)has taken such an interest in the affairs of another (NW).Considering the competitive relationship of the two, it leads one to question their motive.magsau said:RTB,
Again I suppose I had you pegged all wrong, HA!. What was inflamatory about the linking of the article? Suppose some folks would like to discuss the information? Is that not what the forum is about. I did not print the news I just linked it. What is up with your anger?

whlinder said:You know the answer to that and the answer is LHR.

It might not destroy the revenues to AF/KL, it might just transfer them from NW to DL. Figuring out the accounting on things like this is incredibly hard.JetClipper said:Regardless of who their owner (master) is, no airline in their right mind is going to destroy an alliance worth $1B in annual revenues (that’s what the articles say it’s worth to Northwest, but I’m sure the benefits to KLM are somewhere close).

jimntx said:Actually it is only tangentially related to LHR. AA and BA are not even allowed to codeshare on flights between anywhere in the U.S. and LHR. We can codeshare on BA flights from LHR to the rest of the world, but the passenger has to fly on an AA plane from U.S. to LHR.
Passengers emplaning at ATL can be ticketed on DL but actually fly on AF, and vice versa. CDG is not exactly a small regional airport either.
I may be wrong on this, but I think that UAL and LH can codeshare from ORD to FRA--not exactly a two-bit operation either.
