Dot
- Mexico City is this week’s hot spot, with discussion about the Delta/Aeromexico joint venture and some Mexicana chatter, for old times’ sake. Also, after we recorded the two airlines agreed to the slot divestiture requirements.
Lines
- Abu Dhabi to Frankfurt headlines the conversation as Lufthansa and Etihad announced a code share arrangement on that route. Also, Etihad is in all sorts of trouble and may be seeing major changes soon.
Destination
- Seattle is the talk of the day, but not as a tourism spot. The Virgin America/Alaska Airlines merger closed and we’ve got a few opinions about how the new earning and redemption options square up, including the end of the Alaska/Delta “partnership” in May 2017.
