@ByERussell Not many will miss the CRJ200s at @Delta but it is the end of an era. The small jets forever changed regional flying in the U.S. when Delta affiliate Comair introduced them in the early 1990s. The planes will be gone by summer.
@ByERussell Two months. That’s all it took Southwest Airlines to return to profitability after its disastrous holiday meltdown in December. Airline execs are confident that Southwest will comfortably turn profits for the rest of 2023. $LUV.
@ByERussell United/SkyWest’s exit from Pueblo, Colo., in January is the 65th market exit for a U.S. network carrier since the pandemic began.
