Tweet Picks:
@e_russell “Anything that was scheduled to retire over the next five years has been accelerated towards retirement,” says Delta CEO Bastian on airline’s fleet plans. MD-88/90s out, 757s and 767s accelerated, he says. $DAL.
@e_russell “Demand will be there when it’s safe to travel. When people feel confident… that’s when the recovery will take shape,” says Delta CEO Bastian. $DAL.
@e_russell No “imminent” plans to pre-sell miles to credit card partners, says Delta CEO Bastian. $DAL.
@jonostrower Everyone is getting nutty. Delta wants to trade its 717 fleet to Boeing for a 100 737 Max jets.
@hharteveldt If “immunity passports” are needed to make people feel comfortable about traveling again, @delta will support that, says CEO Ed Bastian #airline #travel.
