“After consulting with Delta, the answer from Atlanta was, ‘Put your foot on the gas pedal.’ With the support of all of our carriers, Delta, Southwest, American, United, JetBlue, Alaska and Frontier, we did just that,” Wyatt said. As air traffic nearly disappeared, he said he wondered if Delta and the other airlines - which are footing almost all of the bill - would want to pause or halt construction.
