I would guess DFW-SIN. But makes sense. Premium market. What carrier is presently doing 8,436nm TPAC runs with 787-9s in a config comparable to AA's from hot airports? This seems most logical i doubt this is happening. AA and Asia has had inconsistent results this would be a very very bold move for...
Jump to postTheir lives are pretty much over Nah, their Delta lives are over. As victims in our American society, politics will be a wide open field for them.

Jump to postWhy does this type of bs only happen on American carriers? I mean you never hear about anyone punching an Emirates crew or a Singapore Girl…. UAE and Singapore are well known deliver harsh penalties if you get out of line they do not put up with stuff. Unfortunately in the USA a lot of these people...
Jump to postAny intel if BA will bring F seats back to this market, or is J as good as it’s going to get? F is going the way of the Dodo bird. PHX isnt a particular financial energy, tech or entertainment center which tend to feed F passengers. I do not work for BA so obviously all conjecture but probably not ...
Jump to postI'm surprised they aren't interested in/willing to/able to operate flights into friendly countries like Iran or China. Both can be done without overflying "unfriendly" airspace (in case of diversion). Is Belarus really the only country they trust will not play along with lessors' legal re...
Jump to postAnybody surprised at the difference between MAX and VW Dieselgate penalties needs to recognize the difference between conspiracy to defraud a U.S. govt agency and a conspiracy to defraud 11 million vehicle buyers worldwide into thinking they were getting 'clean diesel.'

Jump to postFrom my understanding the doors on the train cars do not line up with the doors on the station platform (there's a glass wall that separates the platform from the tracks) . How this will be fixed anyones guess but seems to be a mess up and to fix it something has to be rebuilt

Jump to postIt was my understanding that El Al wasnt doing all too good during the 2010s, while they have restructured they probably arent the best position to weather a storm like this. I do think they would prop them up or something, they would not just let it go under.

Jump to post[twoid][/twoid] Didn't they fly via BCN the last time they flew to ORD? When did they pull out? They last pulled out june 2013 as I was booked on them to go to bcn.

Jump to postI'm not sure what's weirder: the fact a U.S. carrier once flew to Iran, or that the same carrier also flew to Pakistan Before the revolution we had extensive ties with Iran and Tehran was a bustling city that was properly the most developed and cosmopolitan of Middle East cities at the time. The. T...

Jump to postIAH is a much weaker market than people think. The general decline of the oil industry has reduced international service. There’s just not enough room for DL to have a larger operation.

Jump to postThere is often something but usually not something that crazy. Sometimes usually like cake and punch at the gate maybe some cheap trinket souvenir. Allegiant given how cost consious they are I am betting it will be very minimal. If you do want these flights book early as I understand they fill up.

Jump to postIf you mean smaller airports like Eagle/Vail, for instance, and not the major hubs (DEN, SLC and larger stations) the issue is irregular operations, a small market for low cost carriers (skiing is generally an expensive sport), and weekly, not daily flights exposed to operational issues when wx is ...

Jump to postGiven that many secondary cities in JP and the PRC can be reached by 757 and nearly all of East Asia by 767 from ANC I often wondered if ANC would have worked as a North America to Asia hub. I think a mini hub in ANC might have worked for a bit the alliances would have likely still killed that. Yes...
Jump to postIt never made sense to me why they have a hub at JFK which is a little over a 100 miles from PHL. NYC is its whole unique situation. NYC and London are sort of the "capital cities" of the world each with enough to fill its own. PHL gets enough of its own feed from south Jersey Delaware an...

Jump to postThis keeps coming up with the theory we cant really expand airports or the skies are too congested so Widebodies will start doing shorthaul. Probably at some point it will happen, but no where near that. At ORD almost went the opposite in that many many RJs replaced mainline.
