Svondo rapfuura CEO weDelta Air Lines, Ed Bastian, akataura nhau panguva yekufona kwekambani iyi nekuzivisa kuti Delta yachinja chinzvimbo chayo pakuchinja kwekufamba kwemhepo uye ikozvino "iri kushanda zvine hungwaru" pamitemo yeUS House inotsigirwa nemutungamiri wenyika, VaTrump, iyo yakafanana neAir. Traffic Control (ATC) misimboti yekuvandudza iyo Mutungamiriri akasaina pamhemberero yeWhite House mwedzi wapera. Mukupindura mubvunzo kubva kumuongorori weWall Street Bastian akati, "hatipikisane nehungwaru kushambadza."
Tichifunga nezve hutsinye hweDelta hwekubiridzira kurwisa Sachigaro weDare Rezvekufambisa reImba Shuster's yakafanana neATC reform bill gore rapfuura, izvi zvakashamisa vazhinji. Sezvineiwo, sekutaura kwakaita Bastian, vanopikisa shanduko yeATC vaidaidza zita reDelta uye vachishandisa ongororo yayo yeATC yeATC kubva gore rapfuura sechombo chekukurudzira kurwisa bhiri reDelta rave kushanda zvinovaka.
Vazhinji muWashington, zvisinei, havana kushamiswa. Kwemwedzi yakawanda, sechirauro pakupera kwetambo yekuredza, Delta yanga ichirembera pamberi peDhipatimendi chidimbu chavaifunga kuti chaizonyanya kunetsa kuramba: Delta yaizopeta chinzvimbo chayo ichipokana nekuchinja kweATC uye kutsigira mutungamiri wenyika, VaTrump. KANA Hurumende yakabvuma kubatsira Delta pane yekutanga kukosha kwayo, nyaya yeGulf Carrier/Open Skies. Mubvunzo wakavhurika ndewekuti Delta's flip-flop inoratidza kuti yakawana ATC reform/Open Skies deal. Nguva ichataura.
Ko Delta inogona sei kutora nhanho yekupokana neSachigaro Shuster's ATC yekuvandudza mutemo gore rapfuura ichipokana kuti yaizokanda ATC yemazuva ano uye kukuvadza vatengi asi, rimwe gore gare gare kuigamuchira uye kushanda zvinovaka pairi? Dai kurudziro yekubhururuka nendege wanga uri mutambo weOlympic, saka Delta yaizohwina zviri nyore menduru yeGoridhe yemitambo yekurovedza muviri yakapihwa hunyoro hwayo hunoshamisa. Panzvimbo pemashoko ayo, Delta inofanirwa kutongwa nezviito zvayo.
Mienzaniso yekusanyara kusaremekedza vashandi vekuAmerica iri kupenya.
Mumushandirapamwe wayo wekutsvagisa pasi peOpen Skies, Delta inoti ishasha yemabasa ekuAmerica. Mashoko anofadza mune zvematongerwo enyika asi munhu anongoda kutarisa kuDelta kuchangotenga ndege kuti uone kuti haina mhuno. Musi waChikunguru 13, nekufara kukuru, Delta yakatora yekutanga Airbus 350-900. Ndiyo yekutanga mutakuri muNorth America kutora kuendesa iyi Airbus modhi. Delta iri kunetsekana nemabasa eAmerica, yakafuratira vashandi veBoeing neUS aerospace nekusarudza Airbus nevashandi vekuEurope panzvimbo. Sezvakataurwa neAviation Daily munyaya yayo inotungamira, Delta - neAmerican Airlines neUnited Airlines zvakare - haina kuraira chizvarwa chitsva Boeing 777X. Chirongwa che777X chakakwanisa kutanga, uye chichagadzira mazana ezviuru zveAmerica mabasa ekugadzira, nekuda kwerutsigiro rwakavimbika kubva kuGulf Carriers Emirates, Etihad neQatar vakatenga mazana maviri nemakumi matatu neshanu pa235 306Xs dzakatengeswa.
Asi, haiziri vashandi veAirbus neEuropean chete vari kubatsirwa kubva mukutenga ndege kweDelta. Iyo yekufona kwayo yemuhoro, Bastian nekuzvikudza akazivisa yekutanga yeayo makumi manomwe neshanu Bombardier C akatevedzana CS75 ndege ichasvika inotevera Chitubu uye inoshanda mumusika weNew York. Zvakare, Delta yakafuratira Boeing neAmerica kugadzira mabasa. Vashandi veCanada vanobhururuka pasina mubvunzo vanofara. Paakabvunzwa nezve kusawirirana kwetsika dzekutengeserana pakati peBoeing neBombardier zvakamuka nekuda kwechibvumirano chemudiwa cheDelta chakatambirwa, Bastian akapokana achiti "ngationei kuti gakava riri pakati pemapato maviri aya rinobatana sei." Pasina kupokana kune vashandi vazhinji vekuAmerica - vese vari pamutsetse wegungano kuBoeing uye muBoeing munyika yese yekutengesa - vanotenda kuti mapato zvakare uye vanoshuva kuti Delta dai yaisa America, kwete Canada, pekutanga.
Delta inotiwo chirongwa chayo chekurwisa Open Skies ndechekuchengetedza mabasa evashandi veDelta. Kunzwa Delta ichizvitaura muvhidhiyo yayo inotsvedza yemaminitsi gumi nemashanu Vhura Skies, iyo Gulf Carriers injodzi iripo kwavari nemhuri dzavo. Zvakadaro, timu yeDelta inoramba ichipa mamwe mabasa eDelta kune vanodyidzana vekunze (JV) vadyidzani kupfuura zvayakambokundwa mumakwikwi eGulf Carrier. Sezvo mari yeJV yakakamurwa zvakaenzana, hazvina basa kuDelta kuti ndege yayo inogadzirwa nevashandi vayo inofamba nenzira here kana kuti ivo vanopa mikana yekubhururuka kune vekunze vanodyidzana nendege nevashandi vavo vekunze.
Delta inowana mari yayo yakakamurwa neimwe nzira. Semuenzaniso, kutanga kwegore rino Delta yakarega kubhururuka Seattle-London Heathrow. Pane kudaro, yakapa nzira yekuenda kuJV shamwari Mhandara Atlantic. Mumushandirapamwe wayo weGulf Carrier Delta inoti ndege yega yega yekuUS yakarasikirwa nemutakuri wekunze inodhura zviuru gumi nemazana mashanu emabasa ekuAmerica. Sarudzo yeDelta yekupa nzira iyi kushamwari yayo yekune dzimwe nyika yakadhura 1,500 US mabasa? Nguva inotevera kana iwe uri mune chero Delta US hub, tarisa-tarisa kune yakakura nhamba yeDelta JV yekufambidzana ndege ipapo uye zvibvunze wega kuti ingani dzendege idzodzo dzingashandiswa neDelta, neDelta crew, kana zvisiri zveJV kupatsanura mari.
Muvhidhiyo iyi yeDelta, Bastian anoita chivimbiso chekuti Delta ichatanga kubhururuka zvakare kuenda kuIndia kana VaTrump Administration vakafunga kusiya Open Skies vocheka mapapiro eGulf Carriers. Delta inowanzo tora ndege yayo yakadzimwa yeAmsterdam-Mumbai semunhu akuvadzwa mumakwikwi eGulf Carrier. Ivo vafambi veDelta US-India vakangonyangarika here? Chokwadi kwete. Delta yakavapa kune vadyidzani vekunze - Air France/KLM pamusoro peParis neJetAirways pamusoro peAmsterdam. Zvichibva pane zvayakataura munhau yeGulf Carrier, mamwe mabasa chiuru nemazana mashanu ekuAmerica akarasika nekuda kwesarudzo yakaitwa neDelta management.
Ngativimbei kuti Trump White House haina kutora chirauro cheDelta. Mugore reSilver Anniversary reOpen Skies, tinofanira kunge tichipemberera mabhenefiti makuru ainoramba achiunza kune vatengi, nharaunda nehupfumi hwenyika. Pane kudaro, zvinosuruvarisa, tiri kuita gakava pamusoro pekuti mutemo uyu wakabudirira zvikuru webipartisan international air service, uyo wakashingirira muyedzo wenguva, unofanira kutsiviwa nechirongwa chemakwikwi anofambiswa semutemo weCanada weBlue Skies kuti uwedzere kupfumisa ndege nhatu dze oligopoly - Delta, America neUnited - ine rekodhi yekuseta purofiti.

ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- Last week Delta Air Lines CEO, Ed Bastian, made news during the companys earnings call by announcing that Delta has flipped its position on air traffic control reform and is now working constructively on US House legislation President Trump supports, which closely resembles Air Traffic Control (ATC) reform principles the President signed at a White House ceremony last month.
- How is it that Delta can take an adamant position against Chairman Shusters ATC reform legislation last year decrying that it would throw ATC modernization off-course and harm consumers but, one year later embrace it and work constructively on it.
- For months, like bait at the end of a fishing line, Delta has been dangling in the front of the Administration a morsel they thought would be too tantalizing to resist.
