Alaska embraces a ‘proudly all airplanes’ strategy with Hawaiian integration Alaska Air Group’s single-fleet strategy becomes an embrace of complexity and turnkey widebody scale.

Alaska Airlines is positioning itself for a dramatic global transformation, and Minicucci spells some of it out in detail with some poking and prodding from this group of the foremost aviation writers around.

Is 'durable and differentiated' enough for Delta? Podcast Episode · The Air Show · 12/05/2024 · 32m

This week on the @theairshowpodcast.com we stir the pot. @briansumers.com @crankyflier.com and I delve into Delta and ask if being 'durable and differentiated' is enough to hold its number one position. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Is 'durable and differentiated' enough for Delta? The Air Show · Episode

“Historically speaking, when a number one player is dethroned, it’s not necessarily the number two player and how well they played the game but it’s the mistakes the number one player [made].”

The United/American face off in the ‘80s and Dick Harris’ missteps come to mind. @theairshowpodcast.com

Is 'durable and differentiated' enough for Delta? Podcast Episode · The Air Show · 12/05/2024 · 32m

This week's episode of @theairshowpodcast.com has us pondering Delta's future. Is it at the top, and it's all downhill from here? Or will it... keep climbing? There are doubts. Join me, @briansumers.bsky.social, and @jonostrower.com as we talk it through.

Though I love the podcast and greatly enjoyed the episode, I have a tiny bone to pick with @theairshowpodcast.com's claim that the Airbus A321XLR, if not revolutionary, will “just” be a Boeing 757 replacement.

The 321XLR is STILL NOT a 757 replacement. Here’s why, plus my 757-illustrated analysis 🧵
