Commendable pilot, nonetheless, for preventing what could have been a very ugly accident regardless of what caused the accident. Bravo
Jump to postFor long haul international, here's a very premature speculation of what will stay and go. I don't think UA will cut any South American cities since most cities are only served through IAH in the network. We will probably lose MUC as Star traffic consolidates to FRA, and AMS will get downgauged due...
Jump to postIt might be a while until the international roster fill back to its pre-COVID level, but it will get back to its original level nonetheless. Ethiopian might be the biggest question mark, but the others will likely return within the next 18 months.
Jump to postIt is assumed that LH won't make any official announcements as to when/how they will start pre-COVID service, but how long will it take to get back to its secondary tier markets like AUS, CUN, PDX, etc.?
Jump to postIAH is not nearly as dependent on the oil industry as they have been in the past. Yes, the city could do more coddling to medical as they do oil, but Houston has economically changed since we last saw any type of downturn.
Jump to postIt’s been illegal, so no. But it’s a lot like code share. That would be one complicated code share. That would basically eliminate competition on some routes.

Jump to postOn January 30 UA activated their AUS inflight satellite base. Being overseen by the IAH staff, this gives flight attendants more flexibility over their schedules and other positives.

Jump to postWhy fix something that isn't broken? UA is strengthening its core and will do so for a while before charting into unknown territory.
Jump to postIt is incredibly obvious that UA has an amazing domestic network, but the winter international roster is lackluster. Some European routes are seasonal and the Asian marker is only four deep. Has UA ever thought of adding ICN or a secondary Japanese market? Huh? Do you mean from ORD? My bad. Yes, ORD.

Jump to postIcelandair is in relative terms probably the hardest hit of all airlines by the MAX grounding.

Jump to postDoes anyone have the figures as to how many Airbus deliveries have been made to AA since the MAX grounding? Lots of wondering if new deliveries are able to pick up the MAX slack until they get back on board later this year.
Jump to postIt was definitely launched to defend turn in DFW, but hopefully it sticks around to summer-seasonal. If AA continues to serve diverse destinations like BLQ, TXL, PRG, and DBV I see them keeping KEF around as long as it makes even a few dollars.
