Delta Air Lines: Bigger Is Not Better
Aug. 17, 2015 5:28 AM ET  |  23 comments 
I have logged a fair amount of air miles this summer, and in doing so I have carefully watched several airlines as a customer and observer, both on and off the ground. In terms of customer service, Delta Air Lines  is not my favorite US carrier, and maybe they are just too big to care about, or manage customer service breakdowns. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index the airlines are improving, but still remain near the bottom of the list as far as the overall industry is concerned. In the same report Delta scored another 71, which is the same as last year and right in line with the sector average, but well behind industry innovators like Alaska Airlines, Jet Blue, and Southwest.  No worries, however, because in order to perform due diligence, I am going to leave my emotions, and personal experiences, out of the equation. This is the third article in a series devoted to the airlines. In a previous article I made a bullish case for Southwest Airlines. Back in May, I identified Alaska Airlines as a buyable opportunity, and I also like Jet Blue Airlines for the long-term.
If you fly out of the United States, there is a big chance that you will be on a Delta plane even if you book through Air France, or another number of carriers. Delta Air Lines has aggressively expanded capacity, and the company has a presence in nearly every major U.S. Airport. Bigger is not always better, and this article will examine the numbers, and attempt to value Delta Air Lines in terms of potential performance. There remain a number of significant tailwinds, which have produced record profits for the sector; including low jet fuel prices, increased efficiency, and growing capacity. Despite some of the negative sentiment surrounding the sector because of DoJ talk and PRASM numbers, these tailwinds should remain intact for the longer term. This summation is only a general analysis, and investors interested in the airline sector are encouraged to do further due diligence.

Subject: Selling our home in Italy
Hello all,
Retired DL Captain Roger Arndt and his wife are selling their beautiful Villa/B&B, Le Vigne, in Italy and he asked me to spread the word.  The correspondence between us is below so read it from the top to the bottom this time.
By way of reference Roger was born in '42 and hired by DL in '69.

Ciao Dave,

As our Italian experience slowly ends we are offering Le Vigne for sale.  Our website, www.levigne.net, contains brief comments and pictures of the property.
We would be pleased if you would share this with anyone who might be remotely interested in an Italian adventure.
How much?  The short answer is four million euro plus Italian legal fees (not a lot) for a private sale.  More if a broker is involved.  The price includes most of the furniture and fixtures plus all the equipment (tractors, olive press, etc.), land and buildings and two cars.   Many thanks and warm regards…¦….Joan and Roger  levigne1@gmail.com
