Tweet Picks:

@ghimlay .@jetblue CEO Robin Hayes says US legacy airlines’ protests against some EU carriers have to stop. “The last thing we want to see is any kind of retaliation from Brussels if and when we decide to fly to Europe.”

@ghimlay .@SouthwestAir will no longer start service at Paine Field, it has transferred slots for planned five daily flights to @AlaskaAir. Alaska will operate up to 18 daily flights from PAE in early 2019, subject to govt approvals.

@Johnslattery100 Our new E2 customer – Spain’s @BinterCanarias – will receive the first of 3 E195-E2s in Q4 2019. The “green” E2 is ideal for the Canary Islands! #E195E2 #embraer #ProfitHunter.

@winglets747 “It’s worth considering whether aggressive 787 sales and prices are complicating the business case for Boeing’s proposed new midmarket airplane”.

@winglets747 A330neo “runs the risk of becoming the MD-11 of today—a modest update swiftly overtaken by new-generation rivals”
