Once again, for those keeping tracking of this hilarity, new/additional flights to (among others) ABQ, ASE, ATL, BZE, CMH, GDL, GRU, IAH, IND, JAC, MBJ, MEX, MTJ, MZT, OKC, PIT, PVG, RDU, SAT, SYD, TPA, XNA and YVR do not - apparently - constitute "organic growth."
 
Such detachment from reality.  Such comedy.

 

[FrugalFlyerv2.0]

As I told you, I could care less about what Delta is doing at Seattle.

 
You should care.
Some people say that the earth universe revolves around DL.
 

And yet we're never treated to hypothetical considerations about how large Delta would be at LAX had it not merged with Northwest (goodbye DTW, MSP, MEM, NRT, and more?), or how large United would be at LAX absent the merger with Continetal.  Curiously, it's only AA that gets this meaningless backward logic applied.

 
The backward logic is what makes the narrative rock solid.  (along with the occasional fabricated fact - unless somebody calls him on it).
 

These are the types of quotes that are thankfully stored on the internet into perpetuity for future use and laughter - a la (slightly paraphrasing) "airlines can create goodwill and add it to a balance sheet," "Delta will dump capacity across the Pacific to bankrupt JAL," etc.

 
A couple of my favorites (paraphrasing) are i) "the DL-VS partnership is producing more revenue than any other airline partnership ever" and ii)  "you do realize that outside of FRA, DL is the largest foreign carrier operating in Germany"
 
 

Is this the American Airline forum of the Delta Air Lines forum?

 
The forum might be labeled AA, but you should grasp that the universe is DLs

Is this still the AA board? I would like to know about AAs growth (or not) in LAX...

Haha AA's "larger network size" at LAX is driven by the precisely two additional hub routes added by the merger, and not by the 20+ nonstop routes added in the last few years (or soon-to-be-added) by AA/Eagle out of LAX that have absolutely nothing to do with USAirways hubs.  Right ...
 
The comedy continues!

There it is! been waiting on one of you to drop it. 
 
Took to page three though, good job.

lol no. Anytime LAX comes up it becomes a huge pissing contest between the two AA fan boys and the WT version of AA, LDV that literally have nothing to do with AA and the one super DL fan boy that has nothing to do with DL. 
 
It will 14-15 pages of this back and fourth. 
Delta is better! 
No American is better! 
Delta will take over the world! 
No America is going to take over the world!

...and so it goes...

I've got another one.  It's airport-related too.
 
Remember when WT told us that Delta has first call on any gates that become available at JFK T4.  That's wrong too.
 
(According to the prospectus for the bond issue, there is no such condition in the contract between Delta and JFKIAT.  In fact, JFKIAT's lease with the PA requires them to accommodate any carrier requesting access in a non-discriminatory manner.)

There's that air of superiority again.  If only there was something to justify it... You know what I mean.

And then one poster causes the thread to be closed

 

[robbedagain]

does anyone know when these added gates are to come online for AA to begin using them 

 

[NewHampshire Black Bears]

Kev3188  is correct. (as he is 99+ % of the time).
There will always be  Airline 'jousting' on this board.
 
Soooooo, without further adieu, according to google, the big west coast airport KINGS are:
 
SAN - WN
LAX - AA
SFO - UA
PDX - AS
SEA - AS  !
 
Got to retreat into another time zone ( MST ) to find the big DL...........(SLC).
It is what it is !
