Tweets of the day:

@e_russell Remember, @Delta has committed to acquiring 20 used E190s and ordering 40 new 737-900ERs if pilots approve the TA.

@Lebeaucarnews NEW: Airlines worldwide collected record high of $38.1 Billion (up 21%) in ancillary fees in 2014 according to new study.

@MichaelMDowling So a fond farewell to AerLingus. An airline that served us well initially, was a problem in 80s/90s, and then reinvented itself very well.

@MichaelMDowling Actually a bit of a shining example to the other legacy airlines…

@PEdmondAero Christoph Mueller says he is accepting award for @AerLingus achievement “as a retiree but also as a happy shareholder!” #ABStrats.
