Do you know when the next AAL 787 delivery is scheduled? Next AAL has Line number 1247 and the 2 doing test flights at the moment have LN nr 1176 and 1177 so that´s 70 frames between them,depends on the production rate in Charleston. I think the next American will be LN1191 and there are then eleve...
Jump to postI had a lol moment with the retired flight attendant with inside knowledge of a future hub. I mean, active flight attendants on the line come up with the wildest craziest rumors. I can only imagine what a retired flight attendant can come up with. This thread has left planet earth with the speculati...
Jump to postI am fine with DOJ blocking this merger. Less players, and less choices in the market are always bad for the consumer. It also means JetBlue is off limits to SWA , AA or AS as has been rumored here often. But why stop there, lets undo Delta/NW, AA/US and UA/CO while we are at it. If the DOJ is &quo...
Jump to postIs the XLR really going to be an improvement from the LR? Heard murmurs that JetBlue can’t plan to use it in several EU cities it wanted to serve from US east coast, and are looking to maybe trade up to wide body instead Even mentioned in this article https://samchui.com/2023/07/22/airbus-a321xlr-f...

Jump to postAny credibility with this post went out the window with the AA's JVs are stronger than DL or UA's. How so? AA is the carrier than continues to struggle most financially, and is entirely hampered with international growth by being partners with airlines that can't grow much from their respective cit...
Jump to postThe way some of you have reacted to the 787 deferal you’d think they are not getting any widebodies until 2028. Again, I would be shocked if Boeing manages to deliver the 7 which are scheduled for next year with how delayed they are in getting newly manufactured 787’s out the door, much less the 11 ...
Jump to postAmerican has publicly stated that there are actively looking for replacements for the older A319/A320/738 planes. From an ROI and Cash Flow perspective, they've determined that replacing those planes is a higher priority than additional widebodies near-term. One the one hand, I'm disappointed that ...
Jump to postI am surprised the airline analyst/bloggers/twittersphere caught wind of the widebody delivery schedule for 2024 and beyond this week. This was made public on October 19th when 3rd quarter financial statements got published. Heck it was discussed on this very thread, the APA even put a chart out reg...
Jump to postAre they waiting for certification to start production on more aircraft? I believe Airbus is shooting for early 2024, last I read.
Jump to postI too am wondering when the tentative date is for AA to get its first of the B789 subfleet. Does AA's Summer 2024 wide body schedule (with the additions of PHL-CPH/NCE/NAP, ORD-VCE, DFW-BCN) assume they will get the B789s on time? None of the Block 2 789 aircraft are factored into the schedule at t...
Jump to postDoes anyone know when the first new build high J configured 789 comes online? First deliveries are scheduled for 2024. I am assuming thr existing 789 fleet will start getting reconfigured this year.
Jump to postI mean, IAG does not have the plane yet, maybe they are being conservative when guesstimating how they envision flying the plane.
Jump to postBoy did IAG get the bloggers all worked up with their XLR range graphic, they’ve already deemed the aircraft basically a failure before the aircraft is even certified.

Jump to postI'm curious how the PHL-DOH flight on AA is doing. I know it's not been a month yet but I always noticed the flight is more expensive connecting through DOH vs FRA.

Jump to postWith the slow delivery pace I think it will be awhile between when AA receives their first XLR and when they launch any new long(er) and thin routes that these will be best used on. I see a lot of transcon flying for the first couple years before the fleet is large enough to cross the pond. First c...
Jump to postInitially they will be limited to a small set of markets until the fleet has some size to it.

The configuration I believe wil...

AA ran a schedule revision yesterday for summer 2024, any planned changes would be reflected on that schedule. They are still selling ORD DUB for next summer. And not just the highest fares, had they cut the route it would not be bookable. Not saying they won’t make any changes to S24 schedule in th...

Jump to postToo far for an E75. Too thin for a 319? When it is flown, it is normally a 321. The choice not to fly it right now has more to do with it taking a lot of aircraft and crew time at a time where the aircraft are needed elsewhere. AA1517, PHX-RDU is currently operating, departed PHX today at 1054 am, ...
Jump to postThat may make sense. AA for the most part has been a colossal failure in Asia. I don't think they have ever made money on Shanghai or Beijing. Hong Kong never made money, and Tokyo barely hangs on. Their brief experiment to TPE was also a major failure. Do don't see AA ever returning to China or Ho...
