Tweet Picks:
@e_russell “There really is no 190 problem, there’s only a 190 opportunity,” says JetBlue’s @martysg.
@e_russell $UAL’s hub growth strategy is “highly dependent” on scope relief from pilots, says pres Kirby.
@e_russell “We would be a prime launch candidate for the next aircraft of the 797 or whatever they decide to call it,” says Delta CEO Bastian.
@timjue United Airlines plans to shift San Francisco to Sonoma County, Calif. (STS) flights to Denver-STS, airline President Scott Kirby says at JP Morgan conference. Flight is one of the shortest in the network (15 minutes in the air); likely not profitable for $UAL.
@WandrMe .@JetBlue CEO says “deep in discussions” with OEMs on possibly switching from E90 to E2 or #CSeries. Also with potential transaction partner to sell existing E90s. #AvGeek #PaxEx.
