@lesliejosephs .@united CEO Munoz: Big capacity expansion plan is not “testosterone.” Says it’s strategic.
@McWhirterAlex United and the Lufthansa Group will/are expected to embrace transatlantic HBO fares. @BTUK.
@SeattleVolFan A beautiful late-night departure of @Ryanair’s 500th 737 from Boeing Field. From all of us on the 737 program, congrats and thanks for being an amazing partner & customer. @BoeingAirplanes #Boeing.
@SimonCalder Planes are flying machines, not cash machines. Flight delay compensation rules creates a bizarre lottery, payouts misaligned with pain. Time to reform the rules, to free up airlines and lawyers to get on with stuff that increases the sum of human happiness.
@Travel_Buddha Important note: Airbus was competing against prices that were locked in 2013, as American secured 58 options along with its original order for 42 787’s.
