Delta to order 200 plane by end of the year, and invest in Aeromexico

[Skyboy722]

The deal includes codesharing for all Delta and Aeromexico flights between the United States and Mexico, flights within the carriers’ domestic networks and other international destinations, Delta said.

Outstanding Work General!!!!!

I expect no more Volaris comments from you.

It's a trade of your -700's and some -800 delivery slots. The fragmentation language says they go with the jets so.......... have fun with that ALPA merger policy.

Gup

Anything is possible but why would DAL give up 737NG delivery slots to get 717's that they will eventually have to replace anyway? If SW wanted to get rid of the 717's because they think the plane is less efficient than a 737NG wouldn't DAL see the same inefficiencies and prefer the 737's?

Again, anything is possible but this doesn't make sense from a business standpoint. 737NG delivery slots are highly desired and not easy to come by, I just can't see DAL giving those up to get 717's. Also, by doing this DAL would be helping SW to become more efficient and be a tougher competitor against them in ATL.......why would they do that?

Delta has codeshared with Aeromexico for years. They were both original members of Skyteam. Where have you been? SWA downplays any codeshare relationships, yet GK gives more details of the deal in that LAS article. You're not as clean as you thought. In your case it's like pregnancy, either you are or you're not.

Maybe Delta has a big Airbus order coming up instead? Just guessing.

Easy Junior.....you couldn't find Mexico on a map, ok.....well maybe you could.....but not your route map!!!

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Hey they gotta fight for what they think is right. I am not going to knock them for that. But ALPA/ALPA "mergers" are much more cut and dried than our deal. That's all I'm saying.

Gup

Gotcha...

JennyLee, I mean Oys-Yo-Yo, you're such a putz. DAL big order will be for those 100 seaters for the connectors after you cave, again, , and you'll get furloughed again

It is an order for E190s.

Junior? GMAFB.

I have plenty of "mexico" time. Some of it flying, some of it flat on my face.

Either way, I'm qualified!

If that happens freeturd, you will be dumping lavs while I supervise. You will have to do it with no gloves, or face mask. Take a swig of the blue juice while you're at it!

Was your face on the ground in a Tijuana prison? Most likely. And you were smiling, too.

No doubt it will be Airbus. Deal is probably already done. Just waiting to be announced.
