Tweet Picks:
@David_Slotnick The theme here would be “let bygones be bygones.” The Delta-Boeing-Bombardier spat over the C-Series (now A220) was messy. But for the right price and the right equipment, it looks like Delta and Boeing are ready to move forward.
@ethanklapper United CEO Scott Kirby in December: “As much as we like getting EAS money when we fly to markets, I’d much rather take those funds and put them into the infrastructure to create training for pilots…”
@HPSInsight Over the last year, nearly 5K new commercial airline pilots were certified—less than half of the ~11.5K pilots that US airlines want to hire in 2022. Estimates place the shortfall at as many as 12K pilots in 2023, via @ByERussell.
@loriara Things are looking up for #MWAA on the airline revenue side — revenues are up 43.1 percent compared to a year ago — non-airline revenue (concessions, etc.) up 84.5 percent. Non-airline revenue largely driven by high demand for parking.
@LuxuryTravelled A flybe Mk2 was always going find competition. EI Regional under Emerald out of Belfast (which is going to be fierce). However, when airlines like Loganair are charging extremely high fares in some cases – this isn’t competition.
