AA applies for Delta's Seattle-Haneda slot

[CMH_GSE]

again, I have won the debate given that a half dozen or more make comments about my absence on here and then focus on me, and not the topic - or throw in a comment about me while trying to 'get back to the topic'nobody else is the focus of how their off forum time is spent.I'm on the throne, I'm grateful to you all for paying homage to my reign, and I have no intention of yielding my throne to anyone, esp. those who can't really compete in the free market of ideas so want to eliminate their competitors in conversation.sounds a whole lot like something in the headlines right about now.  your last paragraph is priceless after the endless posts about AA's dominance and exclusion of other carriers from LAX.And DL will undoubtedly develop MIA-Latin America. It is hard to believe that AA can believe it is strategically important for AA to fly from the west coast to Asia and lose hundreds of millions of dollars while doing so but DL isn't supposed to start any routes to Latin America from MIA even though MIA is a dominated gateway and DL's track record of making strategically important routes like LHR work is very strong.so, yeah, DL will very likely fight to hold onto its SEA-HND route while noting that AA is not adding anything but simply transferring from one Tokyo airport that it can't make work.and then connected or not, DL will expand its presence in key industry markets whether AA is in them or not.

I guess Parker should just file Chapter 7 now and liquidate.

its just plain ole incredible how you are always right  how you always win     you are 1 helluva pathetic clown who needs true mental help.     I for one really hope AA gets the LAX HND slot  but in reality I don't really think they will

the word you're looking for is ass clown robbed that's what he is

well since so many people here seem to think they are in a divinely inspired war to control it, then I declare that I have won.

the fact that my presence OR absence here evokes endless commentary says that I have indeed won.

No one cares when someone else stops to take a poop and can't post for 10 minutes.

I guess Parker should just file Chapter 7 now and liquidate.

if that's what you want him to do, go ahead.

I propose that the appropriate solution is for AA to figure out how to win in the marketplace - using the slots and route authorities they have.... hundreds of millions of dollars in losses flying to NRT doesn't convince anyone that they will succeed in their attempts to fly to HND from a major city like LAX where they are 66th of 66 competitors.

And if DL does lose the SEA-HND route, it will likely be added to the aircraft that DL will use for new service from MIA, including to Latin America, again where the economics of startup routes for DL are just as good as they are for AA across the Pacific.

 
Pray tel:  will this happen before or after DL starts DFW-LHR?

Here are my guesses.
 
 
1. He's in Jakarta telling the Indonesian Government how to search for the lost AirAsia Flight. 
 
2. He's in West Africa explaining how  Delta will do extremely well with the Ebola scare since the CDC is located in ATL.
 
3. He's trying to meet with Putin in the Crimea region to set up oil deals for Delta's oil refinery.
 
4. He''s in Oslo demanding to speak to the Nobel Prize Committee wanting to know why his AirlineForum postings didn't win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
 
5.  He's flying around the world on a stand by basis eating wonderful coach meals served on Delta plates and reviewing them Bon Appetite Magazine.

 
6.  None of the above.  More likely this was the problem

 
 

again, I have won

I'm on the throne, I'm grateful to you all for paying homage to my reign, and I have no intention of yielding my throne to anyone,

Oh good; now you're on a Jihad. Okay, then.

Maybe 'cause no one else posts every 10 minutes?


Back to the topic:

I'm sure I missed it, but is there any sort of deadline by which the DOT has to render a ruling by?

 

[eolesen]

There's no deadline to issue a ruling, but the timetable is as follows:

Petitions for Reconsideration: December 22, 2014
Answers to Petitions: January 2, 2015
Applications/Supplements/Amendments: January 5, 2015
Answers: January 12, 2015

Given the timeline, they could rule by the end of the month.

I poop every ten minutes....

Thanks, E.

You should change your diet. Lol.

 

[WorldTraveler]

DL's interest in Latin America is likely greater than its focus on DFW-LHR, but I could be wrong.

Both are likely to happen in time.

those who are on a jihad are those who are interested in killing off the competitive voices. I have always and still do fully support the greatest level of participation.

be careful about who you call a jihadist. there are all kinds of internet interest by the feds these days.


btw, DL has the opportunity to respond to AA's claims about being limited in its ability to grow in Tokyo and which will be easy to debunk given that AA has pulled down a higher percentage of capacity that it once flew than any other US airline. pretty hard for AA to argue that they have been blocked from markets when they operated it and pulled out.

I'd cut back on the fiber if I were you.

 

[eolesen]

It might not be the fibre. Reading some of Wild Tripe here has been known to make people gag, and it wouldn't surprise me if it also caused some stomach discomfort.

 

[WorldTraveler]

you've never been able to stomach the idea that there are people in the world that understand the business... including DL's profitable restructuring of its Tokyo hub while AA has lost godzillions of billions of dollars over the past several years with no end in sight.
