“I may be biased (since I work for AA), but I think it’s clear who will come out on top in the AA-NW hub-infiltrating pissing match.

Let’s see….out of NYC, including LGA and JFK, Northwest (including Airlink)  flies to….MSP, DTW, MEM, IND, GRR, and in September, DFW. I think that is it.

Out of LGA and JFK, AA (including Eagle) flies to LHR, CDG, ZRH, NRT, SJU, STT, SDQ, STI, CCS, EZE, SCL, AUA, YUL, YYZ, YHZ (those are outside of the 50 states, for starters, and I am missing some for sure ), and in the good old 50 states, BOS, BWI, DCA, RDU, CLT, ATL, JAX, MCO, TPA, FLL, MIA, PIT, CLE, CMH, CVG, DTW, ORD, MSP (as of September) SDF (beginning in September), BNA, MSY, DFW, STL, LAS (beginning in September), LAX, SFO, SAN, SEA…and I am missing some here as well.

Despite the fact the DFW metroplex is much bigger than the MSP area and it generates more local traffic to NYC, I don’t think there’s any doubt AA is going to smack NW around on this one.

NW needs to stop getting pissy about someone overlapping their routes.  I know AA was well known for that too, but I think cooler heads have prevailed for awhile on that aspect here.”

Sorry. I couldn’t resist posting this for all to read. It’s Friday. We need a little levity around here.
