What is the reasoning for the government denying the 339? I would think the government would favor more capacity over the 763. Protecting Air Tahiti Nui... I'm not sure how filing schedules for international routes works, but how/why does the Tahiti government have a say in what equipment DL uses o...

Southwest loaded a new Summer schedule Only through June 13 today, up to June 25 or so tomorrow, and through August by Friday. Noticed that. 14th and 15th are updated also. Not sure about the 16th but the 17th isn’t. Wondered if they are back to how they did it during Covid. Extend it by a week eac...

I wonder if they got wind of the iAero wind down and decided to exit the scheduled service in anticipation of that.
Jump to postIt is the twice weekly announced Avelo New Haven to Hobby-HOU service that has them worried... On a serious note, the Boise drop surprises me a bit just based on colleagues stationed in Idaho often using UA for Carib flights, but I presume it is just too long and thin right now. IAH-BOI has been ar...
Jump to postB6 used to fly NS BUR-BOS. We just booked a connection on WN on this route since we didn't want to go to LAX or fly a stop with the majors. Free bags help, too! Too bad, we would have flown B6 nonstop if it had been available. Sadly, BUR can't even seem to maintain nonstop service to Chicago. Fat c...
Jump to postI I also would combine T4 and T5 because once AA completes renovation, it will functionally be one terminal with two concourse. Exactly the same as Delta's current T2/3 and UA's T7/8. Why are they combining terminal number 2/3 and 7/8 and not 4/5? I think they're not doing that because while Delta ...
Jump to postFrom interviews with the passengers on Israeli TV the event occurred seconds before touchdown and there were no two separate events, turbulence and windshear- looks like windshear as a sole event. Yup, the FlightAware track has them down to 300 before aborting, so it's safe to assume it was shear/m...
Jump to postHopefully yes. Two very different markets. BLQ's loads were terrible, though cargo supposedly performed fairly well. There was only a half-hearted attempt to market BLQ as a gateway to Tuscany and Umbria, which is what that route was intended to capture, and it didn't generate meaningful POS on the...

no kidding..., I lived there many years and still own a house in South Jersey; if anything the leakage in South Jersey for UA fliers will head north to EWR for wide bodies and better service. AA has PHL captive and many corporate contacts. Could UA run a daily flight? Sure but it will be token at b...
Jump to postThose were all very competitive LAX markets it's exiting. With the exception of MIA, all of the LAX markets they're cutting had at least 3 other carriers on them: SFO: UA, AA, AS, DL, WN.

Jump to postJFK-TLV pulled until 6/7/2024 per DL website. I honestly think they are going to do the same as AA and pull the flight until October. I noticed something else that hasn't got much discussion. JFK-EZE's season ends June 6th instead of the usual late March end date for Northern Winter long haul route...
Jump to postIt's just different offerings and if those are offerings you care about then you will fly them. Limited feeds, nonstop options legacies don't offer, etc. I personally think they could make Canada work. Nothing robust, but some flights from bigger stations to YYZ/YVR and maybe YUL. There is enough W...

I'm curious if UA is going to reduce service at PHL because of the F9 adds and just bank on people driving up to Newark. UA doesn't have much presence here. Same with DL on routes like MSP and DTW where F9 is competing. AA does not have a good domestic product. Agreed, but I live in the city and it...

Jump to postI see the 788 is back on the LAS route. Looks like it does not last too long though compared to last winter. It looks like it is a week according to AAcargo, just before several routes go back to daily in mid-Feb. It looks like PHL-LAX also has the 789 for the 2nd half of Feb. And a reminder that t...
Jump to postI'd imagine Avelo and the DL mainline additions this summer have made gate space at the times that connect to hubs much harder to come by. Even DEN is only 1x. Daily right now. DEN-BUR is a good example of how UA is upgauging across the network – until maybe a year or two ago, it used to be 2x on a...
Jump to postSeeing how much WN is expanding its network at BUR, how far east might they expand? BNA is currently the furthest east on their map, but could something like BWI be possible? I think that’s it until the get the MAX7. They just need to keep BNA, STL, MDW, HOU and DAL daily to provide better feed to ...
Jump to postThe only reason WN picked up as many as they could was due to the SNA cap nearly being busted in 2023, and the major culling of their schedule in June for the rest of the year and then capping what was left come November and December.

Jump to postI’m not convinced that someone in that window seat would have survived, even at the lower altitude where this occurred. That depends.

Jump to postThis is not a 737 MAX issue, as such. The same design has been in use on the 737-900 for the last 25 years. The MAX didnt reinvent the plugging of doorways on the 737-900.

Jump to postI'm hoping DL or UA restart their LAX routes. I also hope that if the B6/NK merger goes through that they keep the LAX route and make it a Mint route if possible.
Jump to postA few others would be within range too - e.g. SUV, HIR, APW, IUE and WLS, all of which receive 737s/320s. A shame the likes of NOU and POM would be too far.
