i’m giddy about the ATL and CLT adds solely because they’re both provoking retaliation from DL and AA, respectively.
not sure what the niche is for knoxville, but destin should be another winner ex-HVN.
should be an interesting day for avelo ops in HVN. gusts are expected top 80kts on the sound midday, with heavy rain. BDL seems like the primary diversion field, but comditions won’t be much better there.
Jump to postspeaking solely in terms of the history of aviation in hawaii, what a dark day.
we could certainly see something like this coming, but i’m shocked it happened now, and not a few years down the road.
these things have a tendency to happen during big political meetings between the interested countries. president xi will meet with president biden in san francisco tomorrow.
Jump to postyale daily news article on HVN and the surrounding community: http://features.yaledailynews.com/blog/2023/11/06/tweeds-embattled-expansion/ i’m not going to call it a “hit piece,” but some of the air pollution conclusions drawn seem to be ignoring the other more significant point source polluters in...
Jump to postAgreed, the local media has been doing a real hatchet job with them as of late due to these diversions. Are there any technical solutions that can be installed at the airport to assist them? yes, absolutely. as discussed upthread (it might be a few pages back at this point), category III instrument...
Jump to postFor what it's worth, as a UA FF I was hoping to fly UA to Europe this Summer via LHR but there is nothing even remotely reasonable. The fares are high which tells me that either UA makes too much money on the route; is not interested in selling connections via LHR; or both. Either way that tells me...
Jump to postIt's been soupy on the shoreline all day; usually it'll burn off by late morning, but it just persisted today. Just in the last half hour I've noticed slight improvement. What are we up to now, 3 HVN diversions on the ground at ILG? Definitely something I'll have in the back of my mind when booking ...
Jump to postmods please put the name of the airline (atlantic airways/RC) in the thread title instead of this clickbaity title, thanks.
Jump to posti had no idea hunter keay left the street to work at XP. you could always count on him to hammer the same shortsighted "shrink to profitability" talking points each and every UA earnings call pre-pandemic. i could certainly see a corporate dynamic where levy is the 'good cop' face of the f...
Jump to posttruly one of the worst signs i've seen in recent memory. i almost never use A, but i'm interested to see how long it lasts.
if someone tweets it to DL, i would imagine that it's replaced quickly.
Here is the original article that VFTW is rehashing: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/no-fly-list-us-tsa-unprotected-server-commuteair/ and here’s the primary source that daily dot’s article discusses, which VFTW rehashed to make money on credit card referrals: https://maia.crimew.gay/posts/how-to-ha...
Jump to postLooking at the numbers above for BOS-LHR I wonder how DL views UA having higher loads when BOS is only a spoke for UA with flights to core hubs outside LHR while DL considers BOS a full fledged hub. I know higher loads doesn’t mean UA was more profitable, but UA isn’t a carrier that dumps capacity ...
Jump to postoil leak in an engine was indicated. UA canceled UA100 SYD-IAH in order to use that frame as a rescue aircraft; that aircraft will arrive after midnight with an expected from PPG around 0300 (saturday), arriving SYD sunday afternoon. hopefully plenty of drinks were catered for the onboard new years ...
Jump to posti’m careful to not trust UA rumors, unless they come from a particular credit card blogger who UA deliberately leaks news to. he’ll have details of the order posted on his vapid blog prior to the event.
Jump to postI flew BOS-HNL-BOS in February and they were full flights. I know that’s not an indicator of success, and I heard anecdotally that BOS doesn’t perform really great, either. Good enough to hold onto? I’ll let others chime in who know the numbers better than I do. BOS does very well for HA, especiall...
Jump to postmakes sense to me. let’s get spring break and easter in our rearview and avoid spikes from that travel. after that, the traditionally indoor holidays (when we’ve seen significant spikes in cases) are done until fall. i’d then support the requirement to return preemptively for thanksgiving and christ...
Jump to postBDL's daily nonstop to IAH goes from United Express (Embraer 175) to United mainline (Airbus 319) on March 4, 2022. great to see. the IAH flight was UA’s longest regional flight the last time i checked (a few years ago). although i slightly prefer the ride in the 175, superior IRROPS recovery for m...
Jump to postI have heard some discussion in other forums about maybe PHF. That would make allot of sense however PHF has a history of failed P2P service. I almost wonder if they could make something like HVN-PHF-MCO work? There is a fair amount of traffic between CT and the Newport News/Norfolk area because of...
Jump to postpre-covid, i was a big fan of the shuttle as a UA flyer out of BOS. at busy times, it was quicker to clear security at the terminal B shuttle TSA, then walk to the UA gates.
Jump to posthopefully we’ll be able to book award travel on SQ metal on the UA website finally.
unless something changed, i’ve always had to look up availability via ANA’s mileage program, and then call into UA to book.
SRQ is a fantastic add for me. quicker drive to ami than TPA, and i don’t have to take 2 trams to get to/from the rental car center. very pleased with avelo’s offerings. now if we could get HVN to be more realistic about their parking rates, we’d really have something.
Jump to postWSJ reporting that the DOJ antitrust lawsuit could be filed as soon as today
Jump to postthe PWM numbers are skewed because of all the covid-driven summer seasonal service. UA basically made PWM a focus city this summer. tons of discussion upthread when the routes were announced.
Jump to postRIP to that tiny drone once it felt that colossal wake turbulence
Jump to postUA2580 is always a military charter, and is mostly flown by a 777/787.
Jump to postWhat kills me about HVN is that it's so close, yet so far from, Amtrak's northeast corridor. I just don't see a way for a convenient and reliable train to plane service to be successful. Its success will depend heavily on how deeply into Fairfield county it can claim as a catchment area, and most in...
Jump to postBOS-YVR is a head scratcher for me, but i'm sure someone here will chime in with something that makes sense.
Jump to postUA just added a smorgasbord of P2P summer flights from the rust belt to PWM. Did not see that coming.

HA reduced HNL to only mondays and fridays. it used to be daily.
i found out via voicemail today; my flight home next week is now canceled. hopefully they'll rebook me on B6 (from LAX).
the PIP’d 789s will be able to fly the routes just fine. there’s zero need for the 77L.
Jump to postSFO-BLR will print money for UA. prior threads have detailed how technically challenging the route is, but the 789 once again shows how capable it can be.
Jump to postThe world is falling apart and this is all this over rated rapscar can do with with his $$$$$ if you don’t like drake, that’s fine. but he’s been consistently atop the music charts for more than a decade now. he’s anything but “over rated.” the livery indicates that it may have been designed by vir...
Jump to posti don’t dispute that the graphic contained in the blog post is legit, but there’s a lot of incorrect information in that post.
Jump to postThis is the correct reason why HVN has such limited traffic. Too many larger airports within close proximity. Airports with much better infrastructure. The airport is also located in a city which is heavily served by rail. Trains that can easily take passengers to the New York airports cheaply and ...
Jump to postdon’t forget that the 752 needed the expensive NGS mod in order to fly beyond 2018. FAA doesn’t require this for freight operators.
Jump to postATL was referred only because it is a solid DL hub. You are correct - UA will surely make a move to SFO-BLR. They already have a flight to DEL. the 77L is probably the only pax aircraft that can fly SFO-BLR with any sort of acceptable LF, and UA doesn't have any. i'm convinced that UA would already...

Jump to postI flew in today from ZRH on LX38 (a773). Initially I thought we were lined up for 28L but then we made a Kai Tak like circling approach to 1R. The pilot flying made a very nice landing too. here you are: https://www.instagram.com/p/B8X3PmeBThQ/ ETA video from another angle: https://twitter.com/rob_...

Is LAX really a hub for United? Or is it more of a focus city? United has really cut back significantly at LAX. It doesn’t even fly to PDX or MIA from LAX. What is UA's ultimate plan for their LAX hub? growth via the future T9. UA should be larger at LAX than it is currently, but jeff smisek shorts...
Jump to postUA dropped EWR-BDL completely, as well as BDL-SFO (which was only flown seasonally in 2018 i believe - i could have my hears mixed up). unless they add a second frequency to DEN, they’ll continue the downward trend in 2020. the EWR drop made me (a UA/*A flyer) shift more of my trips to BOS, especial...
Jump to postwoj just confirmed it on behalf of ESPN. unbelievable.
Jump to postFWIW, TMZ is spot-on with reporting celebrity deaths first. they became part of the country's pop-culture lexicon when they were the first to report michael jackson's death.
Jump to postthey did a great job of hiding all the MAXs at BFI for today; i haven't noticed one yet on the livestream.
Jump to postgrease job! much smoother landing than the streaming coverage of it.
Jump to postProbably a dumb question, but do the dreamlifters fly back to NGO (or the other airports where they bring parts from) empty?

Jump to postprobably insignificant, but i thought this was mildly interesting: i was browsing the state of CT job postings, and there's a new opening for a property agent with CAA that seems to be focused on property acquisition (Recruitment #191120-6585FS-001).
