Tweet Picks:
@AirlineFlyer I’ll miss the A380 more than the 747 when both are eventually retired from passenger service.
@FlyingWithGrant #EVAAIR will Swap 7 existing #Boeing 787-10 orders to 3 777Fs and 4 787-9s. Original order: 18 787-10s.
@jed_mercurio This proposal from @AlexInAir balances verified medical exemption with the airline’s duty of care to those passengers who book in good faith and experience the increased risk of being seated in close proximity to non-mask wearers. Over to you, @British_Airways .
@jonostrower Hell has frozen over. United is killing a borderline consumer-hostile sacred cow. These fees were extractionary alongside the traditional fare buckets. This is an amazing win for the consumer, but indicative of just how bad the airlines are faring.
@justinbachman Kelly says @SouthwestAir is working to move its $20 million daily cash burn to zero by end of 1Q 2021. #airlines $LUV.
