Thread: Best and Worst of 2013: Where do you Stand??

Delta is consistently bad with oversales. I remember a few years ago the top 3 airlines for bumped pax were Delta, Comair, and ASA........all under DL banner. NW wasn't exactly the best in that regard either, so I don't see a monumental improvement coming any time soon.

$27,500 per pax.........means a tarmac delay on a 757 with 180 pax will be FIVE MILLION bucks! 360 pax 747 you're looking at 10 million.............Obviously B6 only operates smaller fleet types, but I'd be cancelling too.

Btw, I had to laugh a few months ago when a station manager I was working with misunderstood that DoT rule and freaked out when the galley trolley of tarmac delay contingency snacks was unsealed, which he assured me would result in a fine from TSA
