It is due to strikes in Germany.
Jump to postWith UA blaming the pause in pilot hiring on Boeing's 737 delays, would it be feasible to also pause the A320 retirements? What are the costs like to continue to do the scheduled maintenance on the oldest 320s rather than send them to Tupelo? It sounds like UA could use the airframes. The issue her...
Jump to postEWR could serve the current or even more TATL service with an emphasis on O&D. So, UA can move small market feed into IAD vs. EWR to free up EWR for more profitable O&D services with 737 and larger aircraft. For example, surely 3 NB instead of 6 RJs PIT-EWR plus 3 NB EWR-Mid Con or Transcon...

So this means that inspected aircraft that are OK can be flying as soon as today at night? This is all very confusing, and it’s strange that no airline is telling customers that they are ready to fly. https://x.com/airlineflyer/status/1747620515395559580?s=46&t=ehW9uG-OB-zvx2jliqZOig Has Copa, ...

I would like to see how market share is moving, if it is United who is gaining pax by increasing gauge
United found loose bolts in 5 of their 737 MAX 9

Terminal B expansion just started.
I thought they entered duty time at the 9pm flight from the hub, and fly the 6am flight too
Within duty time but way low flight hours if the flight is 1:30h
How come American is doing so bad vs. Delta and United?!
Is it lower yields and revenue or they cant control costs?
One question I have always had. I understand if there are too many variables to do much more than guess. If a 737MAX-10 is delivered with X amount with lie flat First, and X amount with a regular First Class recliner, which one is lighter? I don’t understand the tradeoff- the lie flat seats might b...
Jump to postI know United has their numbers and motives, but I cant understand the South African gauge changes.
Or maybe United is moving a couple of 789, to a longer routing? Maybe EWR-BOM is coming back? Can we make a guess where those Dreamliners may be found?
It’s last two quarters of 2022 averaged out daily revenue. Strange figures. IAD-BRU on 59k revenue, daily served with 77W, 700 seats per day, estimated 85% load so 600 PAX/day. That would be 100$ revenue per PAX/day. How does that work? That revenue is only O/D pax between IAD-BRU But in that fligh...
Jump to postNice trip report!
All in, I think that UA provides a solid product to India. If it were not from Russian airspace closure, they would be unparalled in the US-India market
Really good trip report!
May I ask why you always drop trips?
Is it me or there have been a lot of hard landings lately?

Jump to postQuick question:
UA was using a remediation slot, do they get to keep it or they have to give it back?
By schedule, who will be the largest airline between Australia and US? In next Northern Winter season?
United or Qantas?
My first and only car: Honda Civic 2019!
Hope to drive it till 2030, then I’d upgrade to Acura or Lexus!
We see the plans that United has for Denver with it's expansion plans. But where is the plans to grow IAH, or are they downsizing. I would not be surprised to see more stagnation at IAH. The clubs at IAH feel outdated. The club in E really needs to be redone, but United does not seem to be investin...
Jump to postWhats the plan with SFO-HKG? I see that in the previous schedule, it left SFO in the afternoon and came back from HKG by 8pm Now it leaves in the late night bank with the flights to SYD, MEL, etc and the eastbound flight gets into SFO at 9am Will it stay like that or is it going back to the previous...
Jump to postEven if the alliance is metal-neutral, there are formulas which split revenues and costs which can favor the operating airline
It depends on the JV, but it helps to operate the flights
This is insane
Why they dont put caps on private flights? Those are way more polluting per pax than commercial flights
It's not a great schedule for connections to and from JFK. The northbound connection is legal IIRC but probably not advisable: 57 minutes. Southbound would be a 9-hour connection, as the morning JFK flight arrives too late to connect to MEC. It will work perfectly for JFK. CM803 arrives PTY just in...

Another UA diversion, this time SFO-SYD operated by a 77W ended up in HNL.
Do anyone know what happened?

Is weather affecting ops in IAH? Why only United?

My Honda Civic.
I really like it and it's a nice improvement over my last car.
Also, United has TechOps personnel in EZE, if I'm not wrong so it shouldn't be difficult to get someone to repair it.
Maybe LatAm can lend one?
