AA 141 LHR-JFK diverted to PIT for WX

Not planning to venture into the airport until after the New Year, but I'd be curious to hear if anyone ran the trap to access the Clear lane in the early morning crush, as AaronPGH points out, the lines for both PreCheck and regular security are out the door into the moving walkway and Clear is sa...
Jump to postJust went through TSA and CLEAR lanes are in place, testing is happening. They said it rolls out Monday. The Pre lines were long again, so I'm happy this is finally coming to PIT. I know I'm probably in the minority here, but nothing is more annoying than being next in line at precheck and then hav...
Jump to postWell well well, F9 is finally competing with AA on a PIT-PHL route, as well as PIT-RDU and PIT-DFW.
ALSO competing with DL/WN on PIT-ATL.
Obviously not official yet, but if/when it's confirmed, very interesting additions.

Was just walking through the terminal and saw an Allegiant aircraft at the gate with the slide deployed on the 1R door, methinks someone is peeing in a cup tonight

BA is supposed to start A380 flights into DFW in mid-March, though I'm getting nervous that could get postponed as well :( That one is not happening after all, check the schedules for 27MAR22 onwards.

Jump to post.... ...... Once upon, PHX was a 747 base...... American Airlines? Or America West? I know America West during the time of their questionable foray into the wide body market with three 747s in the early 90's, based their pilots in PHX. You're right with America West, used them for the PHX-Hawaii fl...

Is there an American Airlines pilot base in Phoenix? If there is, what equipment (Boeing or Airbus) can pilots bid for? Thank You Very much. They have 737 and A320 groups at PHX. Once upon, PHX was a 747 base...... PHX is only an A32X base. No 737. Correct, 320 bases for AA are as follows: LGA PHL ...
Jump to postJust matching the right A/C with the right routes. CLT is even a 737 & 777 pilot base now days. I know that the 777 base was established when the A330s got retired, when did the 737 crew base get established? For the longest time, it just was a through base. I can’t remember the exact time fram...
Jump to postJust a quick recap from my memory, the fleet crew bases are as follows: LAX: 320, 737, 787 PHX: 320 DFW: 320, 737, 777, 787 ORD: 737, 787 MIA: 320, 737, 777, 787 CLT: 320, 737, 777 DCA: 320, 737 PHL: 320, 787 NYC: 320, 737, 777 BOS: 737 Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Jump to postForgive me if i missed this, but I saw a post regarding Miami Air folded. Do we know who is going to fly the Penguins to Toronto? This is me just completely guessing here, but I'd say Air Canada Jetz probably has the best shot, given the fact that there are numerous other NHL teams that utilize the...

Jump to postI can see DL, UA, and to a lesser extent, B6 waiting in the wings to devour pieces of the pie with inevitable drawbacks . Most of their unencumbered fleet would be older B772s, the now-parked B752s and B763s, and the early batch of B738 and some of the A320 aircraft. DFW will become a free-for-all,...

Awesome to finally see this get done. Wonder if Doug bought himself more time with this
Jump to postGonna throw one out there, but what about LAS-NRT? It was in their HND proposal, it does extremely well every year for CES, perhaps they make it seasonal instead of a 12 day run every January.

I hear PIT has been a mess today due to fog. I have family flying in that has been rebooked twice today. I feel for everyone dealing with that holiday hassle. Indeed.

Hopefully never again. Holiday swap. UA, DL and a few others have downgraded equipment or reduced frequency on a number ...
Jump to postTo be honest, and this is just my uninformed opinion, but I believe it's just whatever the respective airline wants to market. AA for example, has flagship first on their 77W's, yet also markets it's transcon 321T first class service as flagship first as well.
Jump to postNothing all that coincidental, when you consider that one was performing for the Paris Air Show (departing Le Bourget airport) and the other was attempting to make an emergency landing at Le Bourget airport.

Jump to postWell considering I'm working in the operation right now... No lol. Someone's probably upset with AA and edited it. Wikipedia is a great source, but not always reliable.

They way for American to win is for the leaders to understand where American Airlines came from, it's history and route development strategy.
