  1. “As the 737, which is the core plane, is the most successful widely used plane in the world. And as they continue to grow it and extend it, they adapted. They made a decision around these sensors with an MCAS decision, which fundamentally is flawed. And I think they've admitted that as much. I can't explain why. I'm not there, but it's not something that at Delta we ever take for granted. Safety is paramount to everything.”

  2. “Reporting is coming out shows a lot of corner cutting, a lot of trying to get things more automated, all kinds of things. It doesn't show a great picture of technological innovation that's going on in airlines. And maybe I'm misreading a lot of these”

  3. “A one-off in terms of what happened, there's certainly going to be lessons learned. We don't know all the facts yet. I think there's still some facts that are continuing to come out of this. Boeing will figure it out. I have no doubt about that. They're a great technology company. We wouldn't be here in this room if it wasn't for Boeing. So it's fundamental to who we are. And it's the lifeblood to our industry. It's not something that I'm concerned about.”

  4. “Well, for start, safety is always the utmost priority. So there's never a compromise around safety. And I really can't speak too much on the MEX. We don't fly the MEX. And sometimes in life you'd rather be lucky than smart. And that's this one we got lucky on. We're an Airbus customer in that fleet size, the 321 Neo. And happy that we made that decision a few years ago, obviously. But safety is not something we compete against. It's not something. If you think about the US aviation market. The travel market. We're the safest form of transportation in the world of any form, of any formal mobility. The US aviation aviation market is the safest. So I think it speaks to the fact that this was truly a one-off, in my opinion.”

  5. “Thank you for coming. Thank you for having me. Delta. I want to get to something because what's been in the news, unfortunately, and I want to talk about the innovations in the airline industry, but what's been the focus recently of innovations that have happened is the Boeing crashes. So one of the things that's important is airlines have to innovate and get different and become better and better. Talk a little bit about this impact on your industry when you're thinking about innovations versus safety versus changes and where things are going.”

  6. “Fortunately or unfortunately we all spend a lot of time on planes these days. We wanted to talk about how they're going to get better and also how they're going to keep us safe with all the issues going on right now around plane safety and software. And there's also also interesting vehicles being created that are going to be around flying that vertical lift and takeoff and things like that. So it's really important to talk to one of the leading airline companies in the industry. And also, of course, they're located in Atlanta, Georgia, which has its share of controversy.

But now let's go to the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona to hear Jason and me talking to Delta's CEO Ed Bastian.”
