Seconds after collision from the different angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_0_mPP-Dus (There's also some shots of nose part of Dash-8 fuselage) very disturbing indeed, i am suprised there even is a single survivor from the dash 8 with how little is left and how immense the crash forces must...
Jump to postI’m not understanding the renovation of the 752 First Class. I have not flown one in at least 2 years. I have read recent reviews that the old Diamond seats are still shabby (apart from the Polaris reupholstering). I have seen touch ups that look like grey nail polish was painted over scuffs. I kno...

Jump to postHas anyone on here managed to spot one of the ex-AS A21N after leaving Roswell, are they in AA or AS paint?
Jump to postwhat is AA looking like right now on the scope side of things with the 10 new (to them) A21Ns coming on and the (quite large) still parked capacity?
and if nobody minds, do they also publish this information somewhere?
Didn't Skybus try this strategy way back in 2008? Frontier is much bigger than Allegiant and flys out of larger airports. When you realize the amount of delays throughout the system, specifically relating to larger airports, seems to me you'd end up with planes in the wrong place at the end of the ...
Jump to postSo say AA goes to all 787 widebodies and for some reason, the feds ground the 787s what do they use to fly those routes? So let's say the feds ground the 787 in 2032, what does United do?, What does KLM do? what does BA achieve with their fleet of 12 B77Xs? or even worse for the US and a much more ...
Jump to postWill any A380’s ever be painted again period? At least a couple of QFs still to be repainted into new (slightly changed) livery. QF have never had any aircraft painted in an alliance livery yet - the best they have done in the past is slap sone oneworld stickers on the fueslage. I think, you haven'...
Jump to postDoes LH still fly any A380's? If so? they could paint them in Star Alliance colors. there are a bunch of carriers that fly 380s and are part of alliances, however, the question should rather be, are there any that will need repainting before retirement?, this seems to be entirely dependent on wheth...
Jump to postAlso worth adding swiss to the list of affected carriers, their bringing 3 early 320s back from the desert in Amman where they where never supposed to leave to help cover the 220s during the summer.
Jump to postIs anyone here aware if the newest 7 Mesa CRJ-900 (N952LR - N959LR) are owned by AA or mesa?
If so are these being transferred to PSA come Apr 3?
If they keep them, it might be just about the only part of that fleet worth saving from the scraper after united is done playing with them.
While most of the markets that would have WN nonstop service to TPA already have WN nonstop service to TPA on at least a seasonal basis, there are a few more markets remaining that can likely support WN nonstop service to TPA such as CLT, OAK, PWM, SMF, and TUL.

Jump to postHi all, Recently, during a conversation with a friend of mine working at BA, it was brought up that BA was considering Launching HNL from LGW on their holiday 777 fleet. I took this with more than a few grains of salt, considering it was discussed in a pub, however, is this even possible? I can unde...
Jump to postThis may be a slightly weird question, but what amount of Aircraft actually have airlines operating at the exit limit? or in other words, which aircraft may be under or over-doored compared to interior seating space. As an example, IMO the 737-800 is under-doored, taking the Ryanair Config of Y189, ...

I don't see it even 15 years from now, but I'm not an expert in this :) They are already flying the 777W, the 777-9 will be the successor of 777W. There isn't dramatic difference in size between the two. If there is no dramatic difference why so few customers for the 779 vs. 77W? There is enough of...

The biggest freight hubs in Europe are Liege, Cologne, Leipzig, and Luxembourg are all very central to ...
Jump to postit is worth adding that Ryanair only has significant amounts of flights to 4 non-EU destinations, the United Kingdom, Morocco, Jordan and Isreal. 1 of those is very clearly one of their biggest markets (UK) with now even its own subsidiary (RUK) to serve other non-EU / Domestic operations. There are...

Jump to postYes I am positive mate, haha, thank you, and indeed I maintain that the back rows of the MAX are more comfortable than those of the -800.

Any clues as to the frame? likely candidates could includ...
Jump to postIt's a bit more difficult to categorize in Europe since regional carriers operated much closer to their parent airlines, or much further away than North American carriers. As an example: The relationship between Loganair and BA is just like any other codeshare, so the number is the same as other cod...

Jump to postvery interesting, makes sense for both parties. now that FR has the 8200, and EZY and Wizz have the 321neo, BA would be significantly behind in operating older 320ceo's for their holiday fleet, the 73710 makes perfect sense here since its a little bit more efficient on short to medium-haul and since...
