Delta Ties the Knot with JAL

[Superpilot92]

I just through up a little in my mouth.

at least the laws have changed so that the cant do what the did to TWA to AK IF they try and move on a purchase or merger.

Question:

Will GENERAL LEE change his name to GENERAL TSO?:laugh:

Things will probably be like our JV with AF. AF does somewhere in the neighborhood of 13-15?? flights to the states direct from Paris. We are down to around 6?? from multiple destinations. So likely is that our JV/code-share system with JAL will be us doing all of their international flying to the states.

How does code-sharing with a Japanese carrier relate to a Chinese General?

He is probably like my grandpa who calls everyone from Asia, Chinamen.

The intial report appears to be false... JAL is still in play.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

It will be in play until the decide to announce it.

I personally cannot see that happening. The reason being is that the typical Japanese passenger has pretty high expectations on service and quality on their flights. I can't see many high yield business passengers paying for tickets on US carriers as the US airlines wouldn't know how to deal with them because the cultures are just too different.

No way that JAL will cut all of their international flying. Even if they did, the one who would benefit most would be ANA. Our passenger numbers have been up 10% in the last month alone......

Your grandpa and I should meet. Think of it like this:

...but on a larger scale.

By the way, THE General Lee's Birthday is tomorrow.

...and "General Yoshimoto's Chicken" just doesn't sound right.

The latest really ugly scenario is some sort of purchase of an unspecified part of UAL by AA to counter the DAL Asia strength. After the TWA debacle and the meltdown of the US Air/Am West merger, there's zero enthusiasm at the APA for ANY kind of merger or acquisition, especially with over 1000 AA pilots still on furlough after more than 7 years.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

I agree that UAUA or parts are in play for CAL.

 

[Mr.B]

UAL is not being parted out . Care to make a wager on that? I know a good escrow agent.
