@e_russell “There are some routes that the 757 and 767 fly today that don’t have an economic replacement. It depends on what the operating performance of the aircraft is and, more importantly, what the price of the aircraft is,” says United president Kirby on NMA/797 thoughts. #BoydDEN.

@e_russell “We’re going to start with our biggest business markets and then it will morph into other areas of our network,” says Delta network SVP Esposito on planned A220 routes (feels wrong to not write #CSeries). #BoydDEN.
