Delta Air Lines

partner for private markets.

So if I'm the CEO of Delta, let's say I just put my foot in my mouth with a Starlink and saying that I don't want Starlink and don't like SpaceX, all these things.

But let's say I want to rehash my image and I want to show that I'm leaning into technology and leaning into AI.

Is that the problem set that you would go into, which is elastic pricing for seats? What would you advise the Delta CEO to do? What's the next steps?

It's looking at a lot of historical data to understand how they've approached it in the past, but then also having a horizontal view of pricing within the industry.

One of the ways you can get a data moat, which is very important these days, is to have horizontal insights about an industry.

Other people, he does this sneaky thing where they get the results a few seconds slower.

But while they're waiting for the results, a little bar goes round and round saying, searching United Airlines, searching Delta, searching Bridge Airways, searching Qantas.

And the group that saw that slowdown version, which was transparent about the efforts going on behind the scenes, they rated the output something like 8% to 15% more comprehensive than the people that got quick service.

So I think what you're saying, there are proxies in related worlds which suggest, yes, absolutely, slowing down the results and telling people what's happening will improve the user happiness with what they get.

Oh, I love it.

Well, because me, fucking Delta, pushed my flight.

I've never seen this.

Then they made it earlier.

So after an hour.

she starts searching other airlines and determines he does have a ticket, but it's on another airline because my man cannot figure out how to just go to delta.com or american.com. And I have no judgment against people who want to travel on the budget websites, Travelocity, all of those things, but you better be careful to make sure that your tickets aren't on a different airline getting there and coming home.

He was completely unaware of this.

Didn't print out his itinerary.

After my mom almost cussed them for canceling the fight.

And we figured it out from Google flight updates before Delta and Air France even told us.

Yeah.

And there was no other option for us to get back.

And I was like, oh shit, we touched down.

All of these planes literally felt like we were falling out of the sky.

And I was like, what's going on? We're on Delta flights.

Can we, we gotta do better than frontier.

Yeah.

So I had what I forgot when I gave mom the Delta flight information, because I do get excited when I fly Delta because my credit card lets me go into their fancy lounge.

I forgot that I had discovered an earlier American flight home and booked Allie and me on that as a return.

So I had Allie and me on American at 9.15 and And mom and me, but on separate bookings.

you're using is worrisome because you're saying you discovered it.

Like it was hidden and it was secret.

Well, we're going to the airport and Allie says, Delta.

The driver says, you're going to Delta.

And then Target.

Delta, specifically, airlines targeted in a federal investigation into personalized pricing.

Yeah.

How much do you make? We're going to adjust the price accordingly.

Also, Ohio's auditor website and online accounts were down following a cyber attack.

Great.

Delta was targeted in a federal investigation into personalized pricing, which I drew a parallel to the taxation system.

The more you make, the more you pay, which is basically what personalized pricing is.

Don't go away.

Delta targeted in federal investigation.

It's 650-55-KRC-D Talk Station.

Happy Friday.

You spend the seven days in Nassau.

You get there by way of Delta Airlines.

Delta-Sunbelt connections.

Daly to Atlanta.
