Issue Overview
Fasten your seatbelts. Fourth quarter earnings season
starts this week, covering the period from October through December. As usual,
Delta goes first, sure to unveil another strong set of results. One reason for
the airline’s success: All the new technology it’s introducing, some of it on
display at last week’s consumer electronics show in Las Vegas. Another reason
for Delta’s success in 2019? Industry capacity shortages with MAXs unavailable
to Southwest, American, and United.
