we will see segment and local O&D revenue numbers. The first look at all of the DAL flights beyond the Wright Amendment borders will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2015.
It will not only show if DL's initiative to fight to be at DAL was worth it but also how well WN is doing and what kind of impact it is having on AA and other DFW flights to destinations which are served.
the part we won't see is the cost side with any kind of detail.
DL is very good at adapting costs to revenue so if DL can generate sufficient revenues, then the issue of costs can be made to work.
DL is also very good at adapting to complex operational situations. They specifically built a JFK terminal which is built on extensive towing on/off the gate. DL operates one of the most complex fleets in the US but still manages to post one of the best on-time and completion ratios in the industry.
DL will adapt and succeed, as much as some people here want to believe DL can't and won't.
DL has many stations that board 400-500 passengers/day which is where DAL will be with only 4-5 flights/day (DL's schedule is reduced midweek and Sat now). It is also possible that DL could upgrade to M80s and likely will by summer if costs are a problem and that will increase cost competitiveness.
The chances are very high that DL is obtaining revenues as good as DAL for the same markets - not unlike the strong performance that WN is reportedly seeing.

Both above & below wing are farmed out. Not sure to who has he work, though...
DALLAS (AP) Delta Air Lines Inc., which could have been booted from Dallas Love Field this week, will continue serving the airport near downtown for another six months.
Delta reached an agreement to keep using a gate controlled by United Airlines through early July, Mark Duebner, the city's director of aviation, said Thursday.

this has been discussed on multiple other threads, as one of this forums biggest wrong positions by the majority of people on this forum.
DL is still at DAL, will continue to be, and clearly has a valid legal argument, or DAL and both WN and UA would have said no without remorse but continue to accommodate DL.

Nada...
Correct E, nothing has changed at all except for the seats added. Still the same'ole 5 flights to ATL, just using slightly larger aircraft and working out of different gates, and again it is only a temporary agreement yet again, nothing is perm. We'll see all this drama yet again come first week of July. Then a whole new out look could appear, maybe Virgin will have pulled back a little (hell maybe even SWA but I doubt it very much). But I would be willing to bet it will get harder and harder for them to stay as we approach the summer flying...
