DLD 396: So much revenue, but what about profit?

The image shows a view from an airplane window during takeoff or landing. The wing of the airplane is visible in the foreground, with the "jetblue.com" logo on the engine. Below, there is a runway and taxiway with another blue airplane on the ground. In the background, there is a body of water and a coastline with buildings and greenery.

Airlines raked in revenue in Q2, but not all of them reported a profit. And that raises a lot of bigger picture questions.

DLD 298: Mixed awards, mixed messages

The image shows the tails of two airplanes with a white background. Both tails feature a red logo that resembles a stylized phoenix or bird. The logo is prominently displayed on the vertical stabilizers of the aircraft. The sky in the background is overcast.

When an airline says it is concerned about passenger safety and then increases the number of seats sold that can be hard to reconcile. But at least they’re leaving it members of their cabin crew to keep posting anti-mask FUD on social media, right??

DLD 294: It’s Electric!

An airplane with "magniX" and "AeroTEC" logos on its fuselage is flying over an airport. The airport below has multiple runways and numerous parked aircraft. The surrounding area appears to be a mix of open fields and buildings. The airplane is a small, single-propeller aircraft.

Whether taxiing to the runway or taking off for the skies, electric power is a growing part of the flying experience. Which is pretty damn cool.

DLD 291: The Cheese Soup test

The image shows three vintage Continental Airlines boarding passes or tickets. Each ticket features the Continental Airlines logo, which consists of a red globe with horizontal lines, and the word "CONTINENTAL" written below it. The tickets have a design with red, yellow, and orange vertical stripes. The background is a dark surface, possibly a table or display board.

We’re deep in the throes of learning what requirements will exist for passengers to prove they’re healthy and resume travel. This week’s episode has a very unlikely candidate for one such test.
