DLD 501: Star signs and labor challenges

One strike averted, another underway. And plenty of challenges remain for the aviation industry overall.

DLD 473: Huh, so now what?

Ticketing counter at LGB Airport

American has a bunch more planes on order, while JetBlue and Spirit officially call it quits. Plus lots more…

DLD 472: Bags and buses and out of business

Air New Zealand ATR

More baggage talk, plus buses, and an airline is out of business.

DLD 416: Going Retro(fit)

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. The terminal features a high, glass-paneled ceiling with metal beams and columns. There are escalators in the foreground leading up to the main concourse area. The concourse has various signs indicating directions to all gates, ticketing, and other airport services. There is a large American flag hanging prominently in the background. The terminal is decorated with holiday wreaths and garlands, suggesting a festive season. There are also some people visible in the distance, likely passengers or airport staff.

Refreshing cabins is a nice touch, but why does it take so long?? Also, how long will it take Southwest to pay out all the comp it owes.

DLD 413: Living the Dream(liner)

A United Airlines airplane is flying over a large body of water with an island visible below. The sky is partly cloudy, and the aircraft is shown in profile with the airline's logo and name clearly visible on the fuselage and tail.

Just a couple hundred (more) new planes coming to United through the end of the decade. Nothing to get excited about here.

DLD 385: Worst birthday party ever

A blue and white propeller airplane with the word "Connect" written on its side is parked on an airport tarmac. The tail of the plane features a yellow circle with a blue design. In the background, there are large, arched hangars and a fuel truck. Two airport personnel in high-visibility vests are standing near the front of the plane. The sky is clear with some light clouds.

Sure, the conversations were great, but our plans for birthday festivities came up short.
