Boeing needs to rid themselves of the bean counter mentality. They need to go back to engineering and innovative designs, while putting quality first and foremost in the development and production of their aircraft
Jump to postAny chance to see Avelo add another route from MHT? Perhaps ATL or LAL?
Jump to postB747-437B Are there still Dc-9'S or MD-*0's flying passenger routes in Africa. Thanks for any info
Jump to postAlthough I also thought about RDU as a possible location for a new UA hub, until it was pointed out a lack of gates. Then I had to wonder the benefits of RDU over IAD. No expert on hub operations, but the distance between IAD and RDU makes me wonder the impact on IAD. IAD relies on transfer passenge...
Jump to postAlthough unlikely I would like to see XP add ATL flights from MHT.
Jump to postJust wondering how this merger is going to hurt consumers. There is plenty of competition from the major carriers (AA,DL,UA,WN and AS). Plus you have F9,G4,MX and XP to choose from. Granted MX and XP are small have limited cities served and may benefit from the merger as the combined B6 NK merger ma...
Jump to postHas Air India totally dismissed the idea of offering flights between DEL or BOM to BOS? I am not sure BOS could support daily flights, but perhaps 3 or 4 flights per week might work. Thanks for any info.
Jump to postB747-437B. As I do not know how pm you as the function appears to be no longer available. I recently saw a youtube video on African Express and their DC-9S and MD-80'S. It was a Sam Chui trip report. I became curious to see if you ever flew on one of their DC-9'S and are they still operating?' Also ...
Jump to postEAL Thank you for your negativity concerning AA and it's ability to operate JFK-HND successfully. Let's give them time and see how it goes. I am sure their 77W'S might offer a competitive offering on the route.
Jump to postI for one would be much happier buy Boeing and get rid of their bean counters mentality..
Jump to postAlthough I agree that Boeings quality control issue is horrendous and totally unacceptable. Changes need to be made to work culture at Boeing. Boeing bean counters drive to increase profitability at the expense of engineering expertise. Lack of enthusiasm to design new aircraft and settle for warmed...
Jump to postMods please lock as there are to many posters on this thread talking out their butts. Same with the Japan Airlines A350 accident at Haneda they watch a news broadcast or read an article they know everything. Threads like these should be banned until at a minimum a preliminary report on the accident ...
Jump to postI believe when President Nixon flew IAD to LAX it was on a TWA L-1011. I could be wrong but I seem to remember reading about it in the Boston Globe
Jump to postSorry for a stupid question. With the recent wild fires on Maui and the mention of aid on the way got me thinking. What is the largest aircraft that could fly in with aid to the survivors?
Jump to postCould the 779x be capable of doing routes like SYD-LHR_SYD? If not able to do it without a significant payload hit, what would be required to make it capable of doing it?
Jump to postI am curious how NK is doing on their MHT routes? Any chance we might see some NK add a destination or two in the next few years. MHT could use non stops to ATL 3 or 4 flights per week same with DTW or ORD. Seasonal service to FLL and RSW I think could work. I am probably just wishful thinking but i...
Jump to postHow does their on board service compare to EK,QR or TK? Does EY have competitive route system between AUH and Indian destinations? My big question would be how does EY impact the rumored AI service between India and BOS?
Jump to postHow does EY launching AUH-BOS-AUH impact the prospect of AI launching new service to BOS?
Jump to postPerhaps a stupid question what will be the next PER to Europe route? Would ATH be a possibility?
Jump to postPerhaps one of our RDU airliners members can answer this question. Any rumors on how Avelo's RDU-MHT-RDU is performing?
Jump to postAny information on how Avelo is doing on their RDU-MHT-RDU route? In an earlier post rumors of expansion of service from MHT, any news about that potentially happening? What routes might be considered?
Jump to postHas anyone heard how Red Air is doing? Guessing their MD 80 aircraft are cheap to lease.
Jump to postWould love to see atleast a seasonal BOS-MXP-BOS flight from either DL or B6. If AI were to announce service from either Mumbai or Delhi which one might be the route that works for AI from BOS? BOM-BOS-BOM might make sense for connections in India. I know I want to visit India and experience the cul...
Jump to postDoes anyone have LY loads on TLV-BOS-TLV. I would think BOS could support 3 or 4 weekly. I am sad to hear EDI is apparently not performing that well .Scotland is a beautiful country and the city is a pleasant city to visit. Perhaps B6 might eventually consider seasonal service to EDI. Hopefully B6 m...
Jump to postBased on driving performance by some drivers, I can hardly wait to Jetson like traffic conditions with flying cars. This cannot end good! LOL
Jump to postCould the A339 do JNB or CPT from DUB without a significant payload hit? Would DUB-MCO-DUB or DUB-MIA-DUB work for EI? Miami as an hub for AA might help should it rejoin oneworld.
Jump to postHave they announced initial destinations? Are they planning to fly routes from UK from other cities in the UK other London? How many routes can sustain daily A380 routes from LON? I am guessing NYC, LAX, MIA? IAD? MCO?. Perhaps there is demand for another UK International airline, however I would ha...
Jump to postI wonder if ANC-BOS_ANC might work for AS as a summer seasonal 3 or 4 weekly. Operate mid june to early september.
Jump to postI think some may have listened to much to Art Bell and George Noory on Coast to Coast AM radio. Should anyone see chem trails please let us know!
Jump to postA question could a QF 789 fly PER-IST without a significant payload hit in either direction? Timing a flight that connects in PER to SYD,MEL and BNE..Such a flight 3x or 4x weekly would allow QF to compete with TK.
Jump to postCould TK use a 789 from IST-PER without a significant payload hit? Would it make sense to look at a IST-PER-SYD routing 3x or 4x weekly?
Jump to postFlybaby thanks for your thoughts. Only reason I inquired about 787-10 being considered as a potential replacement for their 777'S is I believe UA is or was using the 787-10 on their EWR-TLV-EWR route. What routes other than JFK,LHR,CDG would need the capacity of a 777 over a 789 as a replacement? LA...
Jump to postAny rumblings of new airplanes for Air Do? Wonder if they might order787's to replace 767'S?
Jump to postIs there any chance of LY ordering the 787-10 to replace their 777'S? They could be good for routes from TLV to LHR JFK CDG.
Jump to postHas Comac stated how many C919 they hope to produce yearly? Do you think the will attempt to be better at support for their customers in regard to parts for repairs than the one major failure of Russian Civilian Aircraft lack of support for their customers?
Jump to postsorry I did. Ty for correcting me. Is DL going to do BOS-Man-BOS this summer season 3x or 4x weekly? I am surprised B6 considering early loads on LON flights didn't consider adding MAN or BHX is only for summer season.
Jump to postDoes anyone think CM may add additional weekly flights PTY-BOS-PTY to their schedule. Perhaps bounce up to a 2nd flight 3x or 4x daily in the future?
Jump to postI pointed out that I was neither a DL fan boy or an expert on their costs. I just said they should have the right to move this or any other HND slot to where ever they think makes the most feasable financial sense for them. Also I think our debate proves this thread should be locked by moderators
Jump to postand if lower pricing does not meet return on expectations, they shouldn't be allowed to chase other opportunities using the slot they were awarded?
Jump to postAgain I am no DL fan boy. I do not call PDX my home airport. But DL for the moment has a monopoly on the PDX-TYO market. Again I do not know their costs.. If they are not meeting their what they feel is required they should have the right to move this HND slot to an airport they feel has an opportun...
Jump to postDL is pricing this route to make a return on investment. Not to put butts in their seats. I have no idea of the cost per hr for DL to operate this flight and all other expenses. However they do need to make a positive return for investors.
Jump to postPlease support your allegations of DL actively suppressing demand. Do you know all costs associated with these flights? Do you have a business degree or accounting degree to back up your claims?
Jump to postHow long of a flight? Will this flight have to block seats or cargo?.
Jump to postDid TW or EA have scheduled L1011 service to Stapleton? Over theyears memory begins to falter me and moving have lost some of my old schedules.
Jump to postDoes anyone think Zipair might buy the 787-10 for high volumn asian destinations?
Jump to postIs LX getting the A321XLR? If so do you think BVA-BOS-GVA might mork?
Jump to postFor Europe I would like to see some airline try BOS-MXP even it's 3x or 4x summer seasonal. This route might be viable with the A321XLR. I would also like to see LO try WAW-BOS. Here again it might not be able to sustain year round service but a 3x or 4x service seasonal might work
Jump to postI wish a daily BOS-MEX could work. Shocking AM or B6 could make it work.
