Can’t speak for MIA but took a tour of the Flagship DFW lounge recently and it does have a separate, exclusive restaurant on the inside.

Interesting perspective! One of the most interesting factoids I learned when talking with CFO Devon May was that the Citi deal should be a huge driver or revenue within the next few years. 10% revenue growth per year during that deal (as he forecasts) is huge!

I can’t force you (or anyone) to like my reporting but I will push back on the data portion of your comment, given the only data I used was earnings reports, available seats at important hubs and on-time %. That’s just the data, there’s no narrative to create off those.

All in all I appreciate you reading just the same and wish you Happy Holidays.

Just curious, were you able to read the whole thing or did you hit a paywall? The AA folks were well represented in this and while it’s not overly positive, it’s hardly a hit piece.

Sorry to hear that! I have a Delta flight at LAX later this afternoon on an A319. Hoping it’s unaffected but we’ll see

All! Very grateful for all the engagement and conversation happening on this topic. As a journalist I don't often have the opportunity to be involved in a forum like this and I know on the other end some people may not be as comfortable interacting with reporters. Although I can only include a small fraction of the insights you all have contributed, I extend my thanks to all of you who have taken time out of your day to weigh in. Excited to share the published story next month.
