It was only last month that Delta threatened to drop Pinnacle and its 16 CRJ-900 aircraft due to poor performance. Now, the two airlines have agreed to a truce. What changed? by Brett Snyder
Delta put out a release yesterday saying that the airline had reached an agreement on a joint contract between the Delta and Northwest pilots to take effect once the merger is complete. Sounds great, of course, but it's a little premature to get excited about this being a done...
American's announcement that it would roll out a fee for checking the first bag was a desperate attempt to raise revenue that hasn't sat well with travelers. Today, the airline showed that it can actually come up with smart ways to raise revenue as well by rolling out a...
And you thought it was just Mesa who Delta didn't like? Apparently, Delta, having failed in the courts to cancel its contract with Mesa, has now turned to another regional provider, Pinnacle, to do the exact same thing. I'm curious to see why they think this is going...
People will often try to predict when an airline will file for bankruptcy protection, but it's rare to actually know the answer two months in advance. Mesa Air Group has just taken that step. If the airline loses its legal battle with Delta, we'll see the airline file...

Airlines have made it quite clear that they have little interest in keeping 50 seat jets around. Shockingly (yeah, right) the combination of high fuel costs and 50 seats doesn't really work very well from a per-seat cost perspective. Now, Delta has come up with a unique way to drop...

Delta Grounds Planes. Will Others Follow?Delta Grounds PlanesI believe in a free market and Delta and the lot of them have every right to ground airplanes that are not efficient and not fully utilized. In keeping with a free economy let's push for our government to end the subsidies...
There have been reports over the last 24 hours that Delta's pilots have come to the conclusion that they cannot come to an agreement regarding seniority integration with Northwest pilots. Since the beginning of these negotiations, management has claimed that a deal wouldn't be possible without an agreement on...
Do I hear an echo in here? Delta Air Lines recently rolled out a best fare guarantee for its website, and to be honest, I think we've heard this before. Airline websites have had guarantees come and go over the years, but none of them seem to stay...
Respond to Your Competitor's ReputationLike the Idea But...It sounds like a good idea but I'm not sure. Where do you go from here or there? Does an airline want to be associated with something as controversial as this? Do they have control over what the flight attendants do? It seems...
Two of the largest airlines in the US lost a combined $2.5bn (1.25bn) in the second quarter, as rising jet fuel prices and restructuring costs hobbled their operations. American Airlines and Delta said they would ground additional planes and cut even more flights in their attempt to...
