@airlinewriter On the debate over whether #airlines should get more federal aid, Cowen’s airline analyst says, “Our view is that without opening states or borders, more aid isn’t helpful.”
@ByERussell “‘Flexibility’ is not a word usually associated with airlines. But it’s commonly heard right now, as resort communities find themselves as valuable to the airlines as the carriers are to the towns.”
@ByERussell “Southwest is stretching into new places to provide for two needs: desired options for our customers who seek snow or sun, and wide-open spaces… and for our company, critically-needed new business.”
@jasonblevins @ByERussell Former Northwest Airlines CEO Douglas Steenland has joined the American Airlines board.
