Re: United Airlines A350 update?

Welp, here we are 1 month later and now we have a definitive update with the XLR order. Just like I stated earlier in this thread, the A350 will be delayed again sometime within the next 2 years and here we are not even 1 month later and now they have been delayed again until 2027. Just keep kicking...

Re: United Airlines A350 update

Here's the situation. RR isn't letting go of the engine contract. Airbus was willing to work with us. Management doesn't want this plane. At all. They've essentially said it at Town Halls around the system. Unfortunately, the previous one did (for whatever reason) and now we can't break any iron cla...

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

Can people at UA give some insight on the SFO-DEL flight - in case Pakistan airspace does not open. Would UA still operate that flight? Can UA’s 789 follow AIs path on SFO-DEL? Unless Pakistan openes it's airspace, this route is 100% dead before it's even launched. I would bet my money on this rout...

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

My "push-back" is all the lies that have been told on this thread about technical reasons why the flight cannot go from Pakistan Airspace closures, 77W not having the performance, FAR regulations would be busted, or crew duty limits. All of this has been debunked as being false. If they h...

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

Wow that flight actually has passengers on it. If they wanted to AVOID Iranian airspace they could have flown via Saudi Arabia/Egyptian airspace into Greek EU airspace and overnight in FRA/MUC instead of HNL. That would have been MUCH faster. I was wondering that too. The 777 has the legs to get an...

Which is exactly in the spot over the Gulf of Oman where the Iranians shot down the US drone; this time. No it is not, geography may not be your strong area.

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

If UA wanted to operate a one stop flight they most certainly could do that but are additional cost associated with operating a one stop flight.

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

If the situation with Iran continues maybe the US and others should pressure Pakistan to open up parts of its airspace to commercial flights. The route is clearly doable without overflying Iran at all. http://weekendblitz.0g2y9hcyenagyt19l.maxcdn-edge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/EWR-BOM.jpg http...

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

Can they fly a polar route to BOM then go down through Pakistan, exit Pakistan where Indian flights are allowed then onto BOM. Or through enter Pakistan where Indian bound flights are allowed, into Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and etc? No because those routes are currently closed in 99 percent of Pak...

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

I find it mind-numbing that so many folks on here seem to think that professional network planners haven't considered all possible avenues (running algorithms with data feed, as an example) to make a flight be viable.

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

Ditto. It's a 777-300ER on the route. Can't it fly above or below Iranian airspace to get to India? I would think it has the range to do so. I've always been curious about how EWR-BOM performs considering how DL and AA both failed in India and then CO stuck around in the Mid-2000s. Maybe too many s...

Re: UA suspends BOM service effective immediately

Could they sub in an alternate type (788?) that might have the legs to make the flight without overflying Iran or Pakistan? I realize that it would mean reduced capacity, but may be preferable to canceling the route altogether. Looking at the Great Circle routing, EWR-RUH-BOM (which overflies neith...

Re: United 757-200 hard landing at EWR

No 8.33 radio spacing? If youdon't have SATCOM RSP/RCP is not a player. To the best of knowledge all 757-200s have the same basic fuel capacity and the -300 has about another 600#. Looks to me like your cherry picking. I'm looking in the 757 Flight Manual right now and the -222 PW planes hold 2000 ...
